Nice truck that, did you end up parting it? hard to find SWB 7.5 tonners, i was looking for a euro 6 chassis to drop my DAF LFs arb body onto a few months ago, but gave up. 

Still have it, never got round to advertising it with the run upto Xmas and all that.

 

Yeah for urban work it has been handy. It's only half a metre longer than a transit t350. They are heavy compared to a Isuzu n75 but for me carrying 3 ton and towing 3.5t was fine. 

 

I was looking at a 18t hookloader to replace it but have decided to go for a 12t hookloader as they have a very small footprint.

New V6 Ranger turned over 5k miles since Arb Show! Gradually getting used to drivers aids etc but mpg seems to be better than old 3.2!

Bloke who gives me a hand from time to time runs this, 1989 Nissan tipper with a 2.2 diesel motor.

Clean as a whistle (if a bit gutless)

I had this Reynolds Boughton for some years. She eventually went via ebay to a sheep station on the Falklands Islands. Did about 12mpg when chip box full.
