I wonder if it was more reliable in the Crusader with the better air flow for cooling which wasn`t possible with the ergo ■■?

This is the last of 9, one " L " reg RR220 & 8 " R " reg RR280 operated by Armstrong Cork Co. from their Gateshead plant, firstly on day and night trunks then later on general distance work. They ran alongside 8 Magirus Deutz 256M19s from 1980 but began to fail and by the mid eighties had been replaced by a mixture of ERF B & C series, DAFs & Ivecos & this was all that was left, a sad looking example, but in 1987 the whole fleet was replaced in one fell swoop with Scania 112s which were a huge disappointment, but that, as they say , is another story. I always had a soft spot for my Crusader eve n when it was raining in on my right foot. To end on a high note, we had radios fitted but I never knew why as we couldnt hear them when the Big Roller was on song.

Two clues-

A couple of inches have been gained in the grille area.
It came out of the Guy factory.
Conclusion- it’s yet another of the missing 8LXB Gardner-engined Guys.
Simples!
