I remember looking at Aldersons fleet in the early 90s and it seemed to me like you could have a 143, or a 113 topline.

Just a couple of shots of my 142
If we return to a golden era in the early 1980’s
Merc’s finest was the 1628…280hp
DAF 2800…280hp
Volvo F12 in UK spec a mincing 305hp
And what was pulling like a nutter over the hill in front…you have it.

Hell on earth the coal tip at Kingsnorth.

Waiting to backload in Cartagena.
This did sort out the riffraff.
