LAST ORDERS - article in Diecast Collector Magazine (June 2000)

Second part of an article about Ron Wilkins of South London who had a large collection of Brewers' drays.  Sadly Ron passed away but his collection is being kept going by his Son and Daughter.

Unfortunately I missed the first part of this article so if any body reading this has a copy of it they can scan for me, I'd much appreciate it.  (Email.)
