It is getting a bit crazy John…going to Farnham tommorow job back to our store…then in to Britannia HQ in Redhill pick up for South Wales…i think we may have a real lock down by the end of this week…i’m not going anywhere near Inside the M25
Not suprised to see this 814 still doing her duty…in my opinion one of the best 7.5s i ever drove…after driving the TKs…TLs …the D series . …Cargo’s and the Leyland Terrier’s back in the day then driving the 814 it was like driving a luxury car.
Nice pic robthedog.
100 % agree Mark, those 6 cylinder 814’s were bullet proof. Never used water/oil. One of the best truck’s ever built in my
opinion.
