Hello Rich
I will give you a ring in the next couple weeks.The info on the F89s came from Stuart James im sure he said that the first 3 6x4 F89s in the country were the ones mentioned.
cheers Rich
stuart james:
oaa 249p was eurohauls oaa 250p was bakers, there were only 3 f89 320 6x4s in the country then sunters had the other one. i ended up cutting the axles out of 249p, and making it a normal unit. never finished it but it would have kicked up some smoke if it did make it back on the road. we had an f88 6x4 oow —m wianright will remember the reg. tipped on its side outside lorrians lorry park with 45-28 and a crane on its back, that ended it . we wedged it under a heavy load in the yard, princes took it in part ex for nick the greeks f10" ncg and the french f12 6x2 lift axle we had. princes didnt find it funy when the 88 turned up solo leaning over to one side in there yard. they woulnt let colenso have any more volvos expecally when they found out we registerd the f12 6x2 to french plates monkey spanner should remember that, they stopped us buying parts as well we had to pay cash for a while. colenso with cash"“” nig

Heres the quote from Staurt James about the F89s
the mercades in spain 1632 driver ocean clipper’.■■■■■ had a fiat
Hello R-JACKO,
More great Baker photos!!! Good to see the the Eurohaul F89, I can remember seeing it on the road. Also good to see the Sunters F89 too, another one of my favourite outfits with a similar livery to Bakers. I knew the guy who used to paint and signwrite Sunters motors.
I think this photo has the two Wynns Volvo F89’s mentioned in the list.
Regards, LR Man
