Its great to see an SK being kept for the Classic & Vintage scene…Very tidy truck there…not a lot of restoration required by the looks of it…

A H reg 1735 we had on longish spot hire around 1993 is one of the best wagons I’ve ever driven/used.As I’ve already said on this thread I’m no fan of Mercs but other than a tired LP type, that broke down a couple of times with unusual faults that were fixed at the roadside, they have given me no grief at all.

Surely that’s a 2035, EPS box was never put in a 28, and the way it’s stood suggests steel rear springs, the 2028s were all on air.
