They’re still there.The tipper is ex- Cornwall Highways i think and is used to collect ice from the plant in the harbour and tip it into the holds of the trawlers.
The tanker is permanantly parked i think.Used as storage and the boats have to come alongside to re-fuel.
ex 611 what we had ,rest in peace,better there that on road

Quite possible; and definately one of the very first ■■■■■■■ L/LTA-10 engined Cargo’s. Acording to DVLA, this one was registered 08/86 - and as I recall they didn’t come in until after Iveco took 48% share of Ford Commercials (europe) and wasn’t that in July of 86’!?!
the cargo was new on a k plate and had a 220 ■■■■■■■ in it that motor flew
de de deeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Super Cargo!
I loved the first cargo I bought, ex Royal Mail 7.5tonner, it was a great little workhorse. Unfortunately I then bought an Iveco Cargo
. It was the biggest load of crap ever built !!
In my opinion all Iveco did with the Cargo was ruin the good name of a product Ford had spent years refining. Mine was so bad Iveco replaced it with a new one after less than two years!! Stupidly I don’t have a photo of the “good” Cargo only a shot of the “devil motor” and its replacement. regards Kevmac47
regards Kevmac47. Ps That green curtainsider in the background is the only shot I have of the Ford.
