Rolf 11 car UK special. Good equipment until the cars became taller. You could just squeeze 11 mk3 Mondeo’s on, but 11 focus were too high.
Bought this ex Richard Lawson one around 2005/6. Good equipment, although the Renault was a bit underpowered.

Not sure if it’s a subbie for Giraud, but going by the TP plate on the bumper, I would say it’s a Portuguese tractor unit Dean. Nice and tidy looking F12 by the way
They were a great looking motor Patrick.

Pete,I remember another company from Ruyton X1 Towns called Pentons,are they still going?
With regards to the Freightliner vehicle remember they used to be red and white, then when taken back from British Rail and privatised around 1995 they rebranded all the trains and vehicles in the new green and yellow livery around 1998.

Whatever happened to ACT were they taken over by Freightliner or did they go under. They had a place at Stpurton Leeds

Hello DEAN ,my word yes you are spoiling us ! Weavers from Craven Arms looks to be loaded with wood chip from Ransfords sawmills in Bishops Castle ,up until a couple of years ago they still had a F7 8 bulker still on the road ,i believe it may be in preservation ,before the Volvos he ran AEC Marshalls .
Yes Pete is right Willie Gwilt were from Baschurch ,but not sure if they are still in business ,i can remember them with S type Bedford laden with sacks of cattle feed hauled back from Birkenhead docks !
Good to see S M Davies and T Alun Jones both from Welshpool ,yes Dean some very smart fleets from Mid Wales and Shropshire ,and on that note im sure Pete Smith will agree with me ,is that Paul should perhaps spend a couple of days up here in Shropshire ,we still have some very big fleets and he wont be disappointed ,thank you dean ,Trevor
Good morning Dean,
Everyone on this forum will at some time in there lives driven a truck that just seems “Right” and will look back and say “yes” I remember one, and will have a storey about it.
In my opinion, this eight legger with the twin splitter box behind the Perkins eagle motor was one, It felt right and you never lost confidence under any circumstanses.
I wonder how many youngsters would agree with me, eh !! I dont know this truck, only the spec, great shot Dean, thanks. Harvey
