Definitely fairly rare the 465 now .
This one says ZF-Transmatic on the grille, was that an early predecessor of the dreaded auto 'boxes they came up with some years later?

Interesting, as apart from torque converters being used on the really heavy wagons, I’ve never heard of it being used on general haulage before. I wonder what the extra fuel penalty was vs a normal gearbox? Ta for the link Pete

Lasted well and looking good for 34 years of age Dan. Apparently the stores at Ballidon had lots of 400 series spares still in stock, several windscreens etc, until recent years when John Kirkham (who sadly passed away last week 
) sorted them out. Our last Sed Ak’s were disposed of around 1990 so they would have had a good layer of dust on them! 
AEC Marshall spares, springs, heads, pistons and fuel pumps plus gearbox parts, were still filling the shelves about six years after the last one went, they were all tipped down the quarry face though.
