That ‘Joints’ Marathon just needs the middle bit spraying orange, ‘Oswald Ingham’ in black on the doors and it would be on the Tate & Lyle sugar tank job from Freightliner Longsight into Trafford Park 5 loads a day and a cab full of sugar especially if you were into making home brew beer & wine

Hiya …I’am been very serious now .i worked for a firm in Buxton who had just payed a few bob for 12 ex wardels ERF’s and two marathons.
well i was the longest serving driver and said could i have the B series with a 250 ■■■■■■■■ the boss said you can have VED that had a 290
■■■■■■■ with a 13 speed fuller and the high cab sleeper(not bad you think) problem was that VED had a door missing no drivers seat
no air lines and a head light missing the boss said you can rob one of the day cab lorries to sort yours out. you can have them good remoulds
to put on the drive axel if you want wow wee. that truck turned out to be one of the most fantastic trucks i drove. it was only
5 years old and still had a MOT.
