This 1978 advert states that they offered 6 different TK’s under the 7.5 ton limit.

Thanks Dean.So going by the two ads it seems that 3 t tare was the rule for no HGV at least in the early 1970’s.Then it changed at some point relatively recent after that to 7.5 t gross ?.Which would tie in with my memory having started on a 7.5 tonner D series on my car licence in late 1970’s deffo under the 7.5 t rule but also subject to an 18 year old limit from memory ?.
But vaguely knew about some sort of 3 t rule applying before that but I didn’t know the exact details unladen v gross weight let alone it meaning up to a potential 10t gross.
