does anyone know where this motor is now or have any pics it appeared in t&d years ago
i aint seen that 88 in years carl was a truckfest regular at one time wasnt it?? i wounderā ā ?
found a pic of it but it now seems to be owned by farnborough truck hire still in great condition though
you must have to much time on your hands carl
Hereās a piccy of it in āFarnboroughā colours courtisy of Chris Hodges website.
This truck was originally restored by John Davies of Davies International in Southampton who ran it on uk/euro work for a few years before selling it to a guy who ran in C&B haulage colours⦠Unfortunately John also had the 3rd axle conversion done which in my opinion spoils its look.
I remember that it used to smoke like hell when first started up and if on a boat it wasnāt unknown for it to completely fill the deck much to the disgust of the deckhands.
I think Iāve got a few photoes of it in Davies colours somewhere so Iāll try to dig them out and scan them.

Great picture that and nice paint job
look foward to seeing them neilf,
thats a nice truck overall, i aint keen on the bull bar, the 88 is a curvaceuois motor, with an attractive cab design that needs no help, and the bullbar spoils it to my eye.
