the ford cargo G201 NRS, was bought off a dealer near Derby. it was a day cab 6x2, cant remember if it was a 270 or 280 ■■■■■■■■ it worked out of Metal Box Hull. When Metal Box closed, the ford came down to Swansea. the sleeper pod was fitted in Swansea, I used the cargo for a week shunting in Metal Box Poole.it was down there ready for me to used. I then drove it from Poole back to Swansea, it was a good truck to drive it performed well up & down those hills.it could carry 26tonne with a York trailer.
Daibootsy.

I would hope that pod on the Bedford is removable I’d be dumping that
in the nearest skip and phoning up for a bed, horrible hideous thing.

Would of been a 280 (commonly reffered to as 290) ■■■■■■■ LTA-10. In a 6x2 unit you could only get the 290 ■■■■■■■ and Eaton Twin gearbox. Ford/Iveco produced VERY few of them; even fewer with a day cab. Pics of twin steer Cargo units (from the era) are dirt rare, pics of day cab Cargo 6x2’s even rarer. This may be the only one…

Sorry to hear about your Dad. My brothers and my father knew The Moth very well on Rockwool when they were all at John Raymonds. Agree with what you say about the past, good times indeed.
