Hi i seem to remember Hunters Of Tantobie running one they always seemed a bit rare in my part of the UK.
I worked for Banner Earth Moving (Darlington) for a couple of years in the early 90’s. he had three 6 wheel tippers they were B,C reg iirc. Banner had shares in the local Bedford/Vauxhall dealer which is why we had them, he’d buy anything at the right price we also had a 4 wheel Dennis tipper. Other than them I can’t remember any other in the North East.
A couple of nice old work horses here,but i doubt if there still about now 
my dads old tm.this was a v6 detroit powered one(despite only pulling a single axle trailer lol) and sounded lovely
A467 Heads of the Valleys ,
A customer of mine has a wide cabbed, ■■■■■■■ powered 6 wheeler wrecker it came from somewhere in Birmingham…City Motors or something like that
Pickups Transport in Leeds had half a dozen in the late eighties all ex Ryder Rentals all with ■■■■■■■ engines. I had one after my F10 died although it would fly like the wind and had enough power to pull a house down I didnt like it very much.
It’s a TM cab with a Detroit lump, but it’s actually on a Dodge tipper chassis!
Hi TTB
Hunters of Tantobie did run a TM artic and if i remember correctly it was ■■■■■■■ powered but they were not keen on it as the fuel consumption was not great compared to their Gardner powered ERF and Sed Atki motors.
Cheers

Abrahams had a C reg TM which Tommy Woods drove. It had a wide cab with a Jennings sleeper, I think it was bought off Alan Wharton who used it on Bell Lines work out of Teesport…
