Two more Centurions, both started out belonging to owner drivers working for Langdons of Taunton. The blue one belongs to restorer Ashley Pearce and the red one is my dads and still works.

I know about the blue one on eBay but it’s a bit strong in the money for
Me ? Is there any others out there for sale would really like some help !!
Cheers
I have got the badge for 007 or a centurion badge for 007 ? It came with the truck ? Actually this pic was taken last nov in qatar , trucks still down there waiting for me to bring it bacj
Is that the plastic one off the side?
It should also have a brass/gold one on the grill.
I am not sure if there were any LHD centurions, somebody on here would be better informed than me on that.
So you are saying that the truck isnt a centurion, but the cab is??
Well your right and your also wrong!we have been doing a little research into its history as well, apparently it was a lhd truck ordered for a uk operator cos it was lhd but specced with rhd headlights, comptons of poole had it, they then had an accident so it was recabbed with a rhd centurion cab,but the cab was again converted to lhd, the truck the cab came off was allegegedly a centurion. So that would make mine 50? Thats the story i have, its probably wrong!

“eat more chips” Mortimers definitely had a LHD centurion. Not sure of the number but it was a 4x2 and I can remember it being on their fleet into the early 2000s.
As for Richmond’s truck I remember it when Mark Compton had it and I do think it had the centurion badges on the cab sides and sun visor at the time. There is a pic on the toprun site of the truck still in white with Compton on the headboard and i’m in sure they are on it then. I don’t remember him ever mentioning it being re-cabbed but do know he did have the truck from new and it was him who had both the tag and cab conversions done.
