The Archbold Guy wouldn’t have had the 8LXB engine as it is a older cab that was in build well before the Big Gardner made it’s first appearence in the Guy around 73/74 ! Sorry,Cheers Dennis.

Old lorry drivers knew this all along Dave, and there’s a lot of us. many of them drove for Smiths of Maddistone, but who’s going to believe them, when they said they had driven them.
