There’s a Tea-coli van in the layby right next to it, so i stopped and knocked on the farmers door for permission to take a pic. He was great, told me all the info on it, reckons its been laid up for about 5 years, but he says, when he gets round to it, its going back on the road 
.
Hope it does and good luck to it ! 
I used to pass that way every week and he’s right that scania has been in that shed for 5 or6 years

Says he’s been offered allsorts of silly money for it but won’t part with it. Says he still needs it, fair do’s, hope he gets it going again.
Well it’s very easy to see if your coming from fakenham like you said so I surppose he’s had a lot off people calling round always thought it was a shame to see it sitting there year after year ino it’s sort of under cover but it’s only going to get worse hope he does get it back on the road looks like one I used to around kingslynn think it was S T Shipping mite be wrong
