1980 built Dennison 4x2 + Tandem curtainsider.
Operated by John Marsh.
These tractors assembled in Ireland with Finnish Sisu cabs, some with RR engines, where a fairly regular sight at
Droitwich for a while. Also seen in Blackpool Van Transport livery.
This one last taxed in 1988… Not sure about that odd shape to the front of the trailer.

I think most of them had the Rolls 265 with the Fuller RT 9509c 'box (wider ratios). But you could have the Rolls 220, 265 or 290. You could also have the Gardner 180 or the 240; or even a ■■■■■■■ 290 - all with 9-sp Fullers. The axle was an Eaton 2500 range.
