Good spot, these take a hammering but I wouldn't like to use one for my 9-5!

[donnk]

5% buyers premium.

 

Even so, a lot of motor for the money. Hate to think what we paid for these originally.

There are a few that have Atlas cranes on, mate.

I would go for those Felix /skc - do anything with those even with couple of grand refit of worn hoses an tyre swap they are the business K

I bought one of these about 6 years ago (not from Withams) and it was in excellent condition, and drove faultlessly.  I fitted an Atlas 4 ton crane and log grab etc, but my needs changed before I registered it for road use. 

 

The biggest limitation from my point of view was the fact that the payload was only 4 tons, and by the time I fitted the crane this was down to 2 tons.  And yet it would still have needed downrating to drive on a car licence as a 7.5 ton truck.

 

  Also the offroad capabilities were mediocre.
