aup vonhenry,i had one at cas, fleet no ct67,they were converted from left hand drive,i think ackworth were going to be the main dealers at central garage and distribute them but ended up keeping them to use,there wasn’t much room in drivers side and gearstick was a bit weird,but they were like a monkey to look at didn’t have it long before I got promoted to a scammell trunker ,at least we didn’t have to drive a big j like the Selby lads lol,you always did get the best alec ps do you still live in micklefield alec

Hey up BIGAW and ROYHEBB and everybody else on here I worked at Ackworth depot 1986 to 1989.
Somebody mentioned graham Jarvis being in a Truck magazine test driving a new truck. It was me not graham if I remember right it was a new Mercedes powerliner and we both had scary masks in our cabs proper realistic ones made people jump. Childish I know but very funny
