my boss informed me that my new truck had arrrived but it wont be on the road for a while as it wont pass its mot 
If thats a real Ford Transconti - I’ll have it any day of the week!
yeah it is a 1975 vintage i think and its got a shiny horn on the roof i cant wait to polish it
I’m more interested in the motor under the bonnet!
The 1 I drove many moons ago went like ■■■■ off a shovel, was very comfortable and had a cracking bed and cab for it’s day!

I think the subject of horn polishing belongs in a different, currently 5 page long, thread on here. 
along with the 1418 merc and berliet.
they were walk across cabs.
great truck.
not a bit of ford in them.
■■■■■■■ engine/rockwell axle/zf box.
pity they took them off the market,with todays tech they would have been right there with the scania and others.
Greg, dont forget the old little cabbed MANs, with their 360 motor they could see most things off the roads - including any 330 Scanies!
