Here you go Mark, SBR body. when I replace the 3.5t Sprinter I hopefully get one built like this ,I would like a MAN tgl chassis if they do the low chassis though .

Hi Steve…we have one like this one on hire at the moment…Robbins are about to buy one too…suprised to see David Appleyard has put one on the road to…lovely little trucks though…only problem I do find with them is the low back end can be a problem sometimes…had to tranship a job in Stafford last year using another Britannia member with a similar truck…but couldn’t get up the steep drive !
You starting that Tiverton job this week mate ?
Hello Mark,
Yes I started this morning and just got back , we took the two sprinters , job was a tip and they were moving the goal posts with the packing ,so filled mine up and put a few heavy items on the smaller sprinter and returned to unload tomorrow , house clearance are going in within the next ten days then we will go back to finish packing , it was another scruffy job for a elderly lady who we know her niece ,any how not too worried as there was no price ,just get it done ,access was tight ,I have some photos which I will post later .

hi jakey.im parked up in penryn got gunnislake in morning not far from tiverton
Hello John , I got back ,tip in Oxford tomorrow .
this is why we sent two small trucks and not a 10t ,we got to go back as we did not have time to do all the packing etc and goalposts had been moved ,its a small village just off the main road .
Hello Mark,
You talk about Griff fender , I see on ebay thee is a photo of one of there old bmc/morris vans ,have a look .
John , the village was Bickleigh , 800 yards from the main road ,bit twisty and tight . I got to go back in the next few weeks when the house clearance have been and took the ■■■■■ away. I do not know why but we have moved loads of scruffy jobs lately , any how its done for now , delivery address was 2nd floor and we were not allowed to use the lift and as normal manager was fussing over carpets etc .
Hi jakey,which way did you go in to bickley of the a30 through sourton then across the moors ,that’s the road I use coming out of Tiverton ,I can see what you mean by using the small vans I don’t think they meant for big ones

Hi John…how did your trip go mate ?
The roads across those moors can get a bit tight down there…Exeter down to Price town across Dartmoor that road gets very lonely for a while…then a bit strange when you see the prison in the distance…like a scene out of an Hitchcock film especially in the winter mate.
Hi Steve…Tiverton job all complete mate !
I can see why you took your 3.5 truck mate tight acess there…little walk to…customer not done much of the packing either…can’t make there mind up or just acting dull like many of them there days…anyway mate invoice at completion of job no worries …was the access at delivery end good mate ?
