Thanks Keith, I seem to remember that E.M.C. had similar colours to Eric Hunwick who I think were from the Trafford Park area.
Eric Hunwick Transport started off in an old hangar at the back of Manchester Airport, then moved to Gorton Rd Reddish. Here’s a pic for comparison of livery:

Cheers Danne ,we had another B reg and a D reg doing the same job. One used to load and shipout every Tuesday, 3 drops Izmir, Ankara and Incerlik ( Adana ) with hanging beef for the NATO bases in Turkey.
Here she is again in Spain after the beef job had finished.
The D reg we had in the background and a 2800 that used to do a Stuttgart round trip.
Racking my brains here! Can anyone remember what year the 3300 Space Cab version came out?

I’m sure it was at the 1985 motor show at the NEC

There is a mention of it in the CM report on the 1984 Show:

Here it is, being advertised a few weeks after the show:

DAF2500 - (G837VHK) - John Fishwick & Sons:0
I used to drive a K reg 1900 exactly like that-lovely lorry-12 speed splitter,and an eminox exhaust.
First proper motor I had,I loved it.
Here’s a question for those who remember driving or operating the DAF 2800/3300 ATIs. The previous DKS version had the 13-sp Fuller in as standard. I remember driving one. Then with ATI version with the DTSE engine, DAF standardised on the 16s-sp ZF Ecosplit (slap-across) on the Continent but standardised on the 9-sp Fuller for British RHD 2800s (apparently to suit our higher 60mph limit at the time). I drove one of those too and I’m sure that had a slap-across 4+4 (rather than 4-over4 too).
Now back to the 3300, which is the subject of this thread. We know that Turk-spec 3300s retained the 13-speed Fuller as the standard 'box. George Bennett accompanied a convoy of DAF demonstrators through Turkey for Truck & Driver magazine and noted that the 3300 FTT heavy duty model had a Fuller 13-sp ‘slap-across’ 'box. There are other examples of optional 13-sp Fullers being fitted to 3300s which I’ll post below.
My question is: does anyone know of any examples of a 3300 DAF SPACE CAB unit fitted with a Fuller 'box?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch! Here are a few examples of DAF 3300s with Fuller 13-sp Road-ranger 'boxes in them.
