Hi Jakey,
2 Roadtrains based at Penkridge, D801 VNV was mine and F557 YWX was Paul Stanyards before it got sprayed white as all 8 of them turned a pinkish colour! We weren’t allowed any bling but you could get those motor’s off the clock without anything being said then an ex driver went in office and 60 mph max or you had warning letters!

Morning Paul,
I would still have been there to this day but they shut the Penkridge depot and opened the new one by Junction 14 at Stafford and took the store deliveries to Magna Park and made Stafford that home delivery, I’m not into 30+ drops a day and getting agro off customers, so I jacked in!
Pete you are some early bird I noticed the time of your first post today, cant you sleep ? Buzzer.

That’s correct, it has a factory fitted 9-speed Fuller gearbox. A vague memory tells me that David sold it to someone in Ireland, but I could be wrong.

Jakey,
They were red but the soap they used to wash them every day took the “nature” out of the paint and they turned pink, you could rub the cab with your finger and have that colour on it! There is a picture earlier on in this thread with one of the red Roadtrains going the other way, must be when it was pretty new as it was still red!, I will find it and re-post it, Cheer’s Pete
