hi, im wondering if any of you can help me.
im looking for pictures of ‘marshalls chunky chickens’ live haul lorries, Marshalls were later bought over by the Grampian Country Food Group (now Vion) they were Dafs not sure what model but pre 85/95 xf cf era. looks like a 2800 etc.
Marshalls Chunky Chickens :- firstly they were wagon and drags (a-frame) not a drawbar. high curtain side bodies were green. the cabs were originally the same colour of green up to the windows where they were a yellow colour. later on the cabs were white with green bumpers and mudguards.
Grampian Country Transport :- the second generation were erfs wagon and drags. there were a few types of liveries on these. some were the same green bodies with white cabs, others were green bodies with yellow cabs and white roofs(and air kit). and the third type were red bodies with yellow cabs and white air deflectors.
they sadly got rid of these motors for artics and sold most of the trailers to local farmers who cut the trailers down to flat beds for farming use. not sure what happened to actual motors.
hope someone can help as ive trawled the internet for hours on several occasions and cant find anything. The ones i know of were based in Coupar Angus at the factory where Innov@te and more recently Stobarts have operated from. Although i know they had places near Edinburgh and Banff too. Possibly more but was too young to remember. thanks just now.
