Apparently its not there anymore so my dad said, the person who owns it is Nick Garlick apparently, who writes and sends in pics to Truck and Driver. It may be worth your while PM’ing Will Shiers for an E-mail address for him? good luck mate.
By the way, one of my mates is the owner of an ex RD FH16, its still black cab, but with light blue chassis, pulling for IRF from Felixstowe. This is the only pic i have got of it.

I seem to remember when my mate bought it, it said Lady Caroline on the front, im not sure of the RD reg as when my mate bought it, the original reg had been transfered i think its an R or maybe S reg. Its still running strong, all over the UK pulling IRF euroliners from Felixstowe

Thanks, here she is. In theory it is now T386JUX?

I took T222 out for 4 days 5 or 6 years ago. Was at a loose end one week and covered some holiday. If I remember rightly, first tip was an 08.00 at Tesco Livingston then a reload out of East Kilbride.

Anorak on. :laughing:

Following what Kindle said, this is a aerial shot of HC Wilsons yard, and you can see L500 with its vulgar orange cab and blue chassis.
