I’m pretty sure that N4 and N6 (the pair that done the daily run to Frankfurt) were sold to a German. Some of the older LHD’s were spotted at the exporter who has a yard at Dartford.

Hi Derf, remind me how many they had, i think my memory has collapsed.Paul
When I was there, L2, M3, N4 & 6 TAF were LHD Scanias, the rest of the fleet were ex dawson rental and ex stobart low roof FH’s.
Fairly sure the Lufthansa twins (N4 & N6) went to a German buyer and the volvos were taken as part-ex for the entire fleet replacement.
Whoops looks like some 4 wheelers in that lot
two Volvo low loaders used by Brown and Mason from Ramsgate, these photos were taken a number of years ago so dont know if they are still running with the company
hi les, thought i’d slip this one in from the early seventies to see if anybody recognized it, apologies for pic quality,its getting a bit worn out! like me!
