That brings back memories. Apart from the more modern lorries, that shot could have been taken in the sixties. After waiting on the top lorry park for the usual three hours, of course.

Hi all, Andrew thanks for the mention, the Volvo VNMs are the business. That’s a 770/780 in the picture. We just took delivery of 40, with the ■■■■■■■ 15l ISX with I shift.
If you look to the left there is a Volvo/GMC WA. This was the North American F88. That’s a standard sleeper and was an updated version of the first inetrgral sleeper introduced after taking over White/GMC trucks in the 80s. That WA looks clean and has to be 1998 or older as it was replaced by the VN in 1999.
steelboyfi0, the early cabs were made in Sweden, shipped bare and upholstered here.
Regards Paul.
