hayday:
I wonder if this Iveco is anything to do with “robroy” on here ?

Loving these pics! Robroy were based behind a garage in Sale, Gtr Manchester and ran a few motors (possibly out of Kelloggs as they were near to?) The New World TM brought back fond memories as both my late mum and dad worked at the Richmond’s gas stove works in Warrington (TI New World Latchford Locks) and the Vanplan body was made nearby.

Glad you are enjoying Paul and Marks pics chap and thanks for the comments !

Good evening DeanB,

I’ve done some digging - from my old records the Mack VBN809T was built up by Pamax in Paris from a CKD kit that was shipped over in late 1978. It was supplied to Olga Cox Transport in mid1979 but not taxed until later that year. She was dark green in colour then.

I didn’t know that Rees Transport had it - I had it from end 83 till, I think, late 1984, and I sold her to a showman for towing funfairs. I never taxed though because I intended to get her back to good condition but she had a major engine misfire, which would have been expensive to fix.

I’m glad to see the pic of her in Rees colours.

I hope this helps

ED

Thanks “EDTRUCK” for replying about the Mack. I wonder why Olga Transport bought the Mack from France as
you could buy Macks in the UK by then i am sure ? Maybe they were cheaper in France ■■ Thanks for confirming
Pamax sold it. It would be intresting to know if MABO were also selling Mack at the same time as they were
also based in Paris and sold various makes.Cheers ED.
