Heres a pair of FL10’s taken 2000 approx. N51 OVK was a 6x4 rigid drawbar outfit and K454 WJX was a 38t artic. Both were great lorries. Dan
Heres one pinched from JEH. Dan
From what I remember… after spending a typical 15 hour shift in an FL10, you really knew you had done a long shift LoL
Still earning its keep, Ross Marleys FL10
first motor i drove,geartronic fl10 in 2001
gutted when forced to move to this fh,though i soon began to enjoy gettin dressed stood up
our yard shunter still roadworthy , have to admit i wouldnt mind a trip out in it , do i need attention, possibly medical?
I had an FL10 @ 38ton it was a lovely smooth little truck very quiet and comfortable, the only problem was lack of space if you had a few consecutive night outs
Not an Artic but my dad had an FL10 320 for around 3 years IIRC, Unfortunately not the same fond memories as some of you though as it was plagued with engine troubles, and coming from a Leyland that never gave a peep for 13 odd years, its time with us was short lived. As soon as financially viable, it went to be replaced by a DAF CF85.340
And a pic of this very truck in an earlier life can be found on David Smith’s site here.

Nice picture, cheers for posting! I used to like the look of these with the later big bumper and spoiler underneath along with Swift’s smart , new, clean livery. …as it was back then!
i think the fl10s was 1 of the best trucks they made
yes , they weren’t a bad motor and served swift well.and then we got saddled with an early geartronic,what a pants motor,seemd to always leave you with a bag of neutrals on a roundabout, and wouldn’t reverse unless the surace was dead level.spent more time at billows with various fault codes then on the road.and it got worse if it rained.
