Hello
This is the third F86 to enter the country.
Kindest Regards

According to you CG the F86’s must have entered the UK one at a time!! As far as I understand it the first ones came in one big shipment and there was a flurry of E registrations at the flegling Volvo dealers that Ailsa Trucks had appointed in various parts of the UK.Cheers Bewick.

165 vehicles sold in 1967 according to the Volvo Archive. I do remember the first ones were delivered with Ailsa stickers and rear mudflaps so presume they did the PDI and Fifth Wheel work on the tractor units
