What do you reckon then Dennis,somewhere around £13 to £15,000 ? I know in 1975 a f88 was about £16,000.

IIRC Dean in Jan 1977 I paid £13,500 for a Scania 111 5 speed day cab, £14,000 for a 10speed day cab and £15,000 apiece for a Sleeper cab 240LXB Sed Atk and an F88.all net of VAT which was claimed back ! Cheers Dennis.

Thanks Dennis, so basically a sleeper was costing about a grand more !

That’s about right Dean ! although in late 1975 I sent a couple of new Atki Borderers to a firm in Cheshire, just can’t recall the name, to have “sleeper” conversions but they were a lot less than £1,000 each. Cheers Dennis.

You’ve just beat me to the name Dean, Jennings Bros spot on ! I think they were taken over by ERF or they had been owned by ERF and then became independent not just sure ! I acquired an ERF “A” Series with a Jennings conversion when I bought out a local firm in 1976. Cheers Dennis.

BonkeyDollocks:
Cracking photos mate. Loved the Hoveringham Daf and the Hansons Atki! Brilliant shots.
Are there any Tarmac wagons may I ask?
I dont recall seeing any Tarmac trucks “BonkeyDollocks” but there are some tippers and some of ARC’s.
However although there are none in this first batch of pics,there will definately be some in later batches.

his favourite spots to take pics from,Southampton,Poole and Ross on Wye were a few.
