Spardo:
Got to disagree here Marky, when I started for Econofreight in 1979 they gave
me a ‘stub nose’ Foden and I thought it was a great motor, to look at and to
drive. Mind you there was a big advantage with the Atki ‘rain-cooled’ version, if
you transferred the the oil filler cap to the rear of the engine, as I did, you could
both dip and fill from behind the cab - saving all that business with shifting
layers of bedding from the bonnet and risking oiling up the interior.
Perhaps I should elaborate.to explain the situation.
The other motors were 2 x DAFs (2800 & 3300) and an F12. Would you want to drive an S83 with no interior trim given the choice?
