North American Volvo (in UK) pic request please

Hi, I seen a few pics on various forums of a red volvo VN and a similar orange one too… I guess they are on containers??

Anyone have pics and info on them?

Thanks

there is one the same as this one but in red, pulls containers out of Thamesport

heres the red one, spotted on m5 a few months back…pete

heres one

Thanks for the pics lads… appreciated.

Does anybody know the standard cab length for these inc bonnet (is there a standard US size ?).
I would like to know the length from the furthest forward point (middle of front bumper) to the rearmost point (back of cab), Any ideas ■■

There the small cab volvos and 2 models old. not to good looking either

The white one on the Low loader is a small cab but there aint nothing small bout the other two! I’ve been in that Red one and its bloody big inside compared to anything we get given!

Interestingly the Red one was a ■■■■■ to get through a UK MOT due to the brake and suspension set up on the rear end. What the guy did was buy a UK 6x4 FH12 and transfer the entire rear chassis onto the American Cab, hey presto! Not that much work in doing that either if you know what your doing!

Is this the one Pacman :laughing: saw it at Flamstead -J9 M1 a few weeks ago :wink:

you would see it there regular, the guy who owns it is a mate of Chris who runs the CDC trailer parked in the truck stop

I used to see the red volvo fairly regular think it worked out of Thamesport impressive piece of kit!

NEW TRUCK * Netherlands - The DAF XT105

An exclusive picture of the new Daf XT105

The Netherlands -1 May 2007: – …Daf’s new bonneted flagship tractor—and it’s ‘exclusive’… has come from Tim de Jong “DAF XT 105 torpedo. What ARE the Dutch up to? I wouldn’t know, but it won’t be conquering the States with this beauty and blowing away Paccar’s hometeam consisiting of Peterbilt and Kenworth. Pity really?”… Tim adds: “Imagine the new 560hp MX-engine, which is pretty late in coming, but which will certainly find its place under this good looking bonnet… The Super Space Cab roof makes it look even better, especially with the typical toplights.” …

You reckon its a big con then Bones

yes! if you look under the wipers, are they not handles for cleaning the screen etc? if so what use are they on a motore with 12ft of bonnet in front?? and the orientation of the front wheel looks a little off?
