Another Foresters pic to complement CC’s great shot, I remember the F10 being in Furburs yard around 2000, when I was looking for bits for my F10.
Latest purchase, on a snowy weekend, box showed a flat top, and as the anoraks amongst us will see its a high line…sad eh…is the pub open? 
But a great model of a local (to me haulier), who I understand is restoring an F88/89

Hi Trevor, did the Daf come from a firm Caddies bought out? Or did I dream this bit of useless info!?
found this little project on ebay this morning…latest bid £3500, looks like an ex Pearsons from Liverpool similar to the one Shones ran, only a few grand away from a perfect restoration, a divorce, and public flogging…dont press the bid key!!!
