Spoke to the lad who's yard I'm in about the scrapper today Bill, he's sent the owner an email saying if it isn't moved in the next 14 days it will be removed, watch this space.
 
Any more pictures?

Thanks eggs, I'll get some more tomorrow. Got most of the back boarded out today.

Aye, wonder what the reserve is. Be like a palace. I definitely found my 8.5m long 811 a pita when travelling with it , dont know whether you'd plan on travelling with it?

I saw a similar looking 4x4 18t merc with expedition camper in Glasgow go for silly cheap a few years ago. Probably missed a trick there.

Here in lays the rub, my truck is a pita to move about locally, get it on the A roads and it's fine. I'm I bit all over the place ATM, don't know if I want to get off travelling for a bit or stay and think about buying a place and building my business.

Yep, still in the 811. This 814's got a lot of kit in it.

Aye seen that. Low miles to. Buts it's the fancy pants common rail engine in it, which I'm sure is fine just not as proper bomb proof. 

 

Is your 811 not doing it for you? Why you thinking if a change?

The 811 is sound. I'd like to slim down to one vehicle and my truck doesn't have rear doors. I'd like a raised fixed bed at the back and still be able to get my work gear in a "garage". The horsebox I posted earlier would be ideal for full timing, but I need something that is practical for living and work.
