Interesting pic.
Was that a subby for Coopers metals Swindon or a totally different firm altogether?
Cant make out the name on the door.

Great shot Larry,are you it’s regular driver? It also looks to me like it’s got an Eaton axle,I wonder what box it has,probably a David Brown 8 speed,but then again it could have a Fuller 9509 ! Cheers Dennis.

HXG is a much-modified Borderer. Started life with a 6LXB and a standard day-cab. It’s a long way-away from that now with it’s Ridings sleeper (and relocated indicators) and an 8LXB/9509 drivetrain. The engine was rebuild around 2001 and run-in for Graham (the owner) by Robert Pardoe, running loads of straw locally around Herefordshire.
