New to Meadows Freight,in January 1995.
I drove one when I worked for Dentressangle… A nice truck with lots of space…
A mile better than the Premium I had after…
I drove this for a few weeks,from new,around Jan 95.Didnt like it,and swapped her for an
89 F12.Very poor interior lighting I found,and so had to stick a couple of extra lights inside.No storage around the seats/lockers for gloves,bits and pieces etc.

I was surprised when Renault went in Volvo for driveline and running gear, as they were the bits they done well. Now electrics that was always a whole different ball game.
That’s a nice looking example any way, I have quite a soft spot for them

I know that truck it’s owned by the bloke who looks after the trucks I drive, he does a bit of haulage with it, he also has a 143 Scania.
Also not a Turboliner, but this had the same Berliet/sawn-off Transcon cab:
I drove this 360hp V8 Italian registered (hence the white stripes on the front bumper) Renault for just over a year, IIRC around 1985ish.

Hi rob the dog,
L768 was one of the first vehicles I was involved in selling via Willodene at Wellingborough when I worked for Renault.
It was an abortion of a truck specced up on a 4x2 chassis with an extension to the end and a rear lift axle on the end. The operator wanted a vehicle to use with all his trailers and the dealer didn’t want to stand the cost if he cancelled. I know after the original operator had it for about 6 months he sold it to an operator in Shropshire iirc , who ran it on container work
That truck left a legacy on me!!!
