Judging by the headlights and early type mirror arms, that would be one of the first 140 models.

I spoke to him this morning it was Harry Robinson so I’d guess it’s the same firm. I remember they had a yard in thurston road with trailers in by the breakers yard. There’s some industrial units there now.

Hi Bill this was taken outside Poole Docks

PHO100P started life as 4X2 and was bought new in 1976 off of Unit Commercials Salisbury, by a Norman Asher, who was a subby for Sea Route Ferry (Southampton) many years ago he also ran a Scania 110. Norman did not keep it long and soon sold it to Brant’s of Tadley a demolition company. It had a very hard life with them till I bought it just around the time that the weights went up to 38 tons. We then converted it to a 6X2 using the backend of a ‘Cartwrights’ Scania 110 rigid.
