vandaboy, I remember this 6 wheel Deutz running around Rogerstone / Newport. There was another run by PLD haulage on contract to RMC out of Vaynor Quarry. Their tare weight was on the heavy side, and the V8 was a little to thirsty.
The 6 wheel Cargo with the V6 deutz carried 17500kg + at 24390kg gvw.

Good period shots though.
