PAUL GEE's PHOTO COLLECTION (Part 1)

[newmercman]

Hi Dean, I ordered it a couple of months ago and just managed to get a November build slot, I believe they’re taking orders for next August now. All the manufacturers are quoting long lead times, but the dealers have a lot of pre ordered stock coming in. That’s ok if you want what they’ve got, but I didn’t, I want a manual gearbox, 18spd Eaton-Fuller, heavier duty drive axles, super 40s which are basically 46,000lb axles in a 40,000lb housing and a slightly lower rear axle ratio, 3.70 rather than the 3.25/3.36/3.42 that are the norm with a double overdrive gearbox.

Morning Dean.
I haven’t a clue who this ERF tanker belonged to,I know that Clapcotts from Poole and Totton ran some dark blue tankers,maybe Buzzer recognises it?

What do you mean ,you dont know Chris ■■? Not like you chap !

Yes it beat me for a start but I’m reliably informed that the A Series is one of Clapcotts and worked out of Esso Fawley on bitumen work.
I did mention Clapcotts but weren’t sure………………………………………………………

At first glance, with all that tin worm, I thought it must be an 88!

I seem to remember that Peterbilts were built more to the customer’s specification rather than say a kenworth.
What lumps in it ■■

The road test comments were interesting , with the testers conclusion being that the SA 400 with the non turbo engine the best bet . Its hard to believe that 32 tonners were being offered with 5 speed boxes even though i know Bewick had at least 1 and the test motor went very well for the day.I think the most suprising thing was that the testers didnt put the Scania way out in front comfort wise
