Contact details for John Lewis Dumpers?

Post #1 by Fil » Thu Nov 17, 2022 12:56 pm

Hi all,
This is my first post after acquiring what I believe is a Winget 2S dumper, approx 1971 (it has a "K" reg silver and black number plate rivetted to the back panel), with a Petter PH1 engine.
She's a reasonably straight looking little dumper but has been bodged and neglected over the years like many, so
as expected I need a few bits and bobs to make her a bit nicer to use. I live on the Welsh border in South. Shropshire, which I think might be near John Lewis Dumpers from what I've read on this fine forum. However, I can't see any recent posts relating to him and he doesn't seem to have an "internet presence" (if that's a thing!).
Does anyone know if he's still trading, and if so, how to get in touch with him?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Fil and welcome to the Forum. Not sure how it works over there but here I Google the name or use the phone book to see if there is any trace of a Company. Final choice is to look for them on FaceAche. Good luck with your searching and most of all your lovely project.
Cheers Cobba

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!
There's nothing on Google or Facebook for John Lewis Dumpers (plenty on John Lewis, but not John Lewis Dumpers :D ), and the Yellow Pages has a land line phone number and an address that don't match up but I think I'll just give the phone number a try o Monday and see if it's him :thumbup:

Good find! Thanks for that. That address ties in with the address in the yellow pages.
I'll give him a ring on Monday and see if he's got any of the bits I need for my little dumper.
