Just spent an hour or so trawling through this thread, and thoroughly enjoyed it!! My Dad was an owner driver and used to drive out of Cheshire salt works in Wincham Nr Northwich.
He had a brand new orange Merc 1617 GEK 914V BB Trucking. He then sold it after a couple of years and bought a new X reg Volvo F7 6 wheel curtainsider (white cab with red curtains). He was dead proud because it had ’ the big engine ’ in it. I think it was 240 bhp or something, lol! He used it to work out of a company called 5 star transport in Penketh,Warrington.
After that he bought a new Scania 82m 4 wheeler in 1985. (B147LTJ). That was a white cab with red curtains too. Apparently a firm called Abrams bought it from Haydock commercials when my Dad sold it back to them somewhere around 1991 when he retired.

Was it the same Fernyhough that had some Scanias on container work, think white cabs with purple wings?
Think he used to get through a bit of silica sand on that grain job as well
Yep them were his, he kept getting done with them for running on red, he just got to do something and there was no need really. Poor owd buggers dead now rip

Aye Larry, there was a chap in Milnthorpe who ran a '65 “C” reg 4 wheeler with the next generation cab and it had the Perkins 6:354 engine/2 speed axle with tapered chassis and IIRC it could carry 11 ton 5 cwt payload at 16 ton gvw. I could never understand Operators paying “through the nose” for a premium chassis with a Perkins engine when other alternatives were on the market for less money ! Just my opinion ! Cheers Dennis.
