Thanks for the Info Andrew . I only ever ran one cu250 in a '75 sed-atk sleeper which was aquired via a firm I took over '76 but it was a thirsty motor so we got rid in Jan 77 and replaced it with an F88 !! Cheers Bewick.

Andrew you’ve put some really good photos on this site. Thanks from me.The Volvos and the Pete you have restored look magic, But for me that A series
ERF stands out in the crowd. Mind you we did give you some nice lines to work with on the A series…The black and white photo of the Canadian Dodge,
well where my dad worked in 1954 they had a 6 wheeler dump truck. I used to go around the yard in it riding shotgun i had to stand on the seat not bad
as i was only 4 at the time. …Don’t tell HSE will you…I have a photo of the Dodge I’ll see if I can find it.
John.
