No visitor to the Retro Truck Show could fail to see this Volvo F 86 tractor unit parked near to the Main Building.
Originally a 1967 reg., but now a Showpiece for Volvo Trucks.
Photograph taken and shown on here specially for bubbleman.

If only I could get the pictures to load up…grrrrrrrrrrrr
Show had some trucks not seen before, against a booked in 276, there were a good 220 plus trucks on show, they had some German classics, F10 and 141, Middle East spec, good effort to those boys for coming over, also some class stuff from Belgium,LAR show.
Saturday was fine, Sunday was cold, but rain held off till around 4.30, thing is with the venue there is always the museum . So all good, folks seemed to like the atmosphere, and retro trucks, I was was just glad to sit down after a 2 day marshalling …great work Lee and the team, once the PC plays ball will load some pictures, but South Wales and Lance Biscombe thread have some on them…
have supported your show since the first and it gets better every year, well done steelboys
