that really low 3300 is a strange one,wonder what that type of cab was for and were they common in holland ?

13127

Hi Glenman,in Holland they leave the jib of the crane attached so over the roof it goes,when they park up overnight its common to see the jib raised so no one can drive into it :smiley:

that looks an odd platform type thing on that pegaso tractor unit - don’t ever recall seeing anything similar over there, or maybe it was just a shunter, anyone shed any light please? :confused: I like how it’s having a DAF identity crisis too :laughing:

Nicely restored Atki,Bells Tpt of Bradford at the time I believe it got sold on.

Brendan Bexton had it for a while but, more recently, it had been restored to its original Alfred Dexter livery and was running with a nice period tandem axle trailer, sheeted up.
