volvo f6:
I bought it from a collector in skipton, it was restored some years ago by a guy called colin pitt , but I do believe it was a training vehicle not sure who with ,that probably explains the gearbox problems lol
would be nice to know a little more about it if anybody knows anything.
Yes B607PNG is an ex Rheemco Blagden truck. It was based at Silverthorne Lane Bristol factory driven by Roly Miles from new then his nephew John Miles. It entered Truckfest late 80’s early 90’s where it won best working truck once I remember. It was cossetted from new and parked up in a heated warehouse I remember. I drove B611PNG. All the fleet had sea birds names. B607 was Albatross. After the F616 they bought Scanias and continued to show them at Truckfest.
Found this pic from a truckfest… yours will be one of those three I guarantee it either the nearest or the middle one because the far one was my mates Bob Thomas (Sandpiper). You will note the fleet had black chassis with green sunvisors.
Heres Bobs truck B609PNG Sandpiper…
