Passed an 06 reg one today.
Big A on the front, and Strato on it too, Obviously a rebadged Eurocargo though, makes you wonder why they bother! :laughing:

They are part of Iveco, I think their main focus is municipal users.

Its all the bits they have left over at the end of the day they glue them together and put a big A on the front :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Yeah knew they were part of Iveco and have only seen Dustcarts with their badge for ages.

This was a normal 18ton Eurocargo though, sorry Seddon-Atkinson Strato. I mean are people really so dumb that they go and buy one with an A on the front because it better than an Iveco?
Bit like people who pay 30k for an Audi Quatro when you can buy the 4x4 Skoda VRS for about 20. :laughing:

I believe they did on the few non-municipal vehicles they sold. I think the Perkins was the most popular for the dustcarts.

Because when you come to sell it, you get paper with the Queens head printed on it, instead of little red nuts in a brown shell, usually reserved for Monkeys or driver’s pay packets :laughing:

you mean you get an extra 10k over a Skoda when you sell it? Dont think so. :laughing:
