Hello CRAIG D

I’m actually not sure on that one marra. I’ve got a article that featured in Commercial Motor a while ago about it.

As far as I know it was a Paccar demo but I’ll try and find the article and see what it says marra

Fail that, maybe ask Norfolk Trucker?

Kindest regards

Take your pick from this line-up of new Fodens, ■■■■■■■■ Gill ! :sunglasses:

Taken during a visit to the ( then ) DAF/Foden Assembly Plant at Leyland , about 10 years ago.
No-one was allowed to take photos inside the A.P., but there was the opportunity to use the camera outside , in
the compound area.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Another new Foden for you, ■■■■■■■■ Gill, taken on the same day.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.
