Danny drove this beautiful Foden FG6/15 at vintage vehicle rallies,and it usually pulled a Flat-Bodied 4-Wheeler Drawbar Trailer - I don’t know if it still does.I well remember seeing it on it’s first HCVS Trans Pennine Run Manchester To Harrogate Historic Commercial Vehicle Rally in …I cannot remember the year…around 1993? :question: I was on The Stray side of Knaresborough Road,Harrogate,photographing the historic,lorries,motorcoaches,buses,etc,on this road as they were heading for The Oatlands Stray where these motor vehicles are exhibited. This Foden,NGX 198,appeared and it’s driver - Danny Dovey himself? - asked me for directions to The Oatlands Stray :slight_smile: The Foden FG tractive unit,126 MRF,also took part in this magnificent and unforgettable rally.

Speaking of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society - HCVS - Trans Pennine Run Rally… :smiley: the 49th one is on Sunday,6th August,2017,The Oatlands Stray,Harrogate :smiley: It’ll be the HCVS Trans Pennine Run Golden Anniversary 50th Rally in 2018 :smiley:

VALKYRIE

Thanks again VALKYRIE I now know what a S18 looks like. While I’ve got your attention was there not an half cab version of the S40 not disputing your most excellent list just seem to think I saw some.
N being cheeky can you explain, without getting to techno on me, why the 12sp box was so convoluted when it was made from scratch why not more like Eaton twin splitter. Cheers Paul
