Would imagine this unit was fairly new.■■■■■■■ V8 !! I wonder how long it lasted getting punched up and down day and night ? not long I guess as they couldn’t stand up to every man and his dog thrashing them ! SoM probably had to show willing to Ford’s as they were large customers but privately they could not have been very happy with the D1000’s reliability ! Cheers Dennis.
I agree Dennis,can’t imagine a power unit of anything less,but the OD■■? signifies a Manchester based tractor unit,so as you correctly state,it would be up and down the old A74 as regular as clockwork,although it might have been running light,I.e.Kodak or Boots from Wythenshawe with single axle box vans.
