Haven’t a clue what this six wheeler Merc has got strapped on the back,seen on the A49 Leominster bypass.

hi dave,looks like Marble slab to me, used to carry a bit of that myself in a cradle just like the one in the pic, :wink: …chris

To be honest I hadn’t a clue what it was,marble must be quite valuable I would have thought Chris.
Cheers Dave.

hi dave,yes , very expensive,have you had a quote for a granite or marble worktop lately? :unamused: :unamused: ,i used to take it to Memorial masons , for headstones etc…chris

Dave the Renegade:

Looks like a coil on the back of this M A N,seen on Leominster bypass.

This looks very much like an ex K&P Iddon motor from Leyland who were great ERF operators but had just moved on to MANs before Beverley shut them down

Hi David,

Cheers Dave.
