The 1st F90 [T4 GJT] is an 8 wheel flatbed crane truck, the 2nd one is a stretched 4x2 tractor unit with underlift recovery gear on.

T4 GJT is actually an F2000 which was bought new for a specific contract around 99-2000. P2 was one of a pair of 5 stars bought new to celebrate GJT’s 25 th anniversay in 2007. They were supplied with the then new D26 common rail 12ltr at 480 BHP. I believe fleet size is around the 70+ mark.

Graham,
the location of that pic seems to be when it was parked next to the Crown pub near Blackwood, so it would probably have been late 90’s.
