Lovely truck, i travelled all over the country in a sk merc with my grandad( although it was just a lowly 1625)

Whos colours you gonna put it in?

there was someone on here a year or 2 or 3 ago who restored a merc similar to that, although i think it was a bit older, there were lots of pics of it from start to finish, cant remember who the fella was thou.

i’ve been down for a nose martyn and steve are cracking on .

[zb]stard, I had one of them brand new on a G plate, older than the one you’re restoring and I’d been driving a few years by then, that’s confirmation that I’m well past the half way mark now

It was a sister to Brookie’s one, mine was G456 XOO, I have very fond memories of it, fastest lorry I’ve ever driven and it never had a spanner on it during my time in it and it was worked hard, very hard

hi newmercman my experience of these v8 s as you say they were bomb proof having owned a 1633 and 2025 never ever put a spanner on the engines. regards martyn.

to be honest it looked ok as it was.only looked like it needed a lick of paint and a bit of upholstery but it will look great when its finished
