Hello, I have owned the Volvo F12 400 Globetrotter, reg number K2 SDT for the last 7 years and I am researching the history of this truck. I know that the second owner was James Johnson from Dumfreis in Scotland. If anyone knows of any other owners, could you please get in touch. Many thanks John

He’s a member on here so he’ll be along shortly I’m sure.
Craig drives a blinged up FIAT and Stuart can often be spotted on the A5 at full on pipe and slipper pace in his Blinged up Foden Alpha
Look up poster Craig D for pics of the current and past motors
craigs a member of trucknet he,ll be along sooner or later
hi mate we did have it new only keep it for 12 months it was quite a bit of trouble with in the first month it sheered a tooth of the timing gears i remember volvo saying the noise was some masking tape that was round the fan how wrong were they ,the paint on the chassis started coming off around the rivits and bolts pretty quick too vovlo had it back for that too about three times they had it over xmas n new year in the end and did a great job of it then . i did a search on dvla database to see if it was still about which showed up that it was my dad was the only one to drive it doing spain .ill dig out some pics i think there is a few .he did win best owner driver class at a truck show at siverstone many years ago now lol
