J R Adams (Newcastle) Limited is a family firm in the true sense of the word, with no less than 7 family members being active in the business. Founded in the 1930s by Jakey Adams with a horse and cart, his first motorised vehicle was Ford Model A. Growing to double figures pre-1940s nationalisation, Jakey bought more vehicles, when his son, Jimmy joined the business, always buying British, running AECs, Albions, ERFs and Scammells.

By the 1970s, third generation James and John joined the business, and today, they run the fleet of 48 vehicles, retaining some of the staff and drivers from over 30 years ago, and even some of their original customers.

Sadly, Jakey died in 1991, and this model commemorates him.

Age Suitability: 14+
