Hi David, Thank you for your post on Volvo G89 lorries. I was a driver at Connals toward the end of 1973,
and at that time,if you were in a lorry with a 180 to 220HP engine,you had a powerful motor. I believe
that the G89 engine was about 290HP, which was needed particularly when you were coupled to one of
Connals 40ft Boden boxvan trailers which were 15ft 3ins high,and loaded with double stacked pallets of
Mazola bottles for Brown & Polson at Paisley. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.
