They did have 2 Magnums,1 of each and that is a l/h/d.If it is the one,Bob the gob used to drive it.
Thought they were supplied by Complete vehicle services in Swindon?- when there workshops were in Okus trading est.
That must have been when it was being prepped at the main place - Reading ?

Is that aka More F**k*ng Pigs?

Did they come back to you when they were “snatched back”? :slight_smile:

I think the Magnums were rented from Mr Tapper at Winchester, because I bought L 142 LDP from the said MrTapper

Edit, I also bought M 839 PRX (another Magnum ) from the same robber,I was led to believe that had also been rented to MFP

A chap from Knighton Shane Hobson drove for M F P when the protests were going on.He has been an owner driver for several years since then.
Cheers Dave.

Last time i spotted L142 LDP was in Dover pulling an Archbolds trailer,bout 12 years ago.
