Why don’t we see these in the UK then?
Does look a bit odd front on?

Theres 2 that have been to spain and back this week, both uk reg’d left hookers.

Looks even odder in the flesh. If people moan about fleet spec uk trucks, i dread to think what theyll say about these.

Do they only come as LHD?

I’ve never seen a RHD version. They’re made mainly for the Turkish market…

There was a demo unit doing the rounds with a promo trailer if i remember correctly, was a new Cargo or something. Built in India i think

I think they’re made in Turkey, you see loads of Ford Cargos in Istanbul, old version and new.

Answers my question :smiley:

Mine said ‘This Lorry Goes To Nigeria’ . :open_mouth: :laughing:

It should have said ‘Trailer’. :unamused: :blush: :laughing:

i could well be wrong, but i think orient express are still trading, but just as a forwarder, based in kent■■? (im sure i delivered into their place a few years ago, there was a turk there loading)
