I was making a delivery out past Wrexham/Shrewsbury in the mid 1980’s to an injection moulding firm.
In their reception area were the bonnet,grill and front wings for the T cab trucks.
They apparently were making them for Scania.

Hi boys
Here’s a couple of photos of the 143 that my brother Robert(The Heavy Mob) used to have. It was interchangeable, you could use it as a ridged or take the body off and use the table underneath to make it a unit.

Regards Keith

A recovery firm in dorking used to have a beautiful T142 wrecker that was blue with airbrushed muralsdown both sides.

Also Albert road recovery (Canutes) used to have a T143 Wrecker in there yard at rainham by the A13.

Haven’t seen either of then for a while so does anybody know if they’re still around?.

Cheers

In the 80s there was a cracking red show truck with lambo style gull wing doors, think the guy was called blondie?.

Hi boys
Tony, It was a 10 min job, back under gantry, pull out quick release pins and uncouple snap couplings on tipper pipes and draw from under, fifth wheel already in place ready to roll.It also had drag couplings on the back. He sold it a couple of years ago, If he sees this he will proberly be able to tell you who he sold it to. He would also be able to put up some photos of his newest project, a T cabbed 144 that he has just brought from Germany. He has just taken it to Nescliffe for painting.

Regards Keith.

The Dorking autos T cab is pictured [along with some other unusual wreckers they’ve used] on their website dorkingautos.net
I remember the elephant mural on the side.

I remember Canute/Albert road recovery had a 4 series T cab 4 axle wrecker it was later sold on to BDV and painted white.
I think it was new to NY recovery.

Hi keith seems the 143 was a really good idea . It will be a good comparison when your brother finishes the 144 . Tony
