:lol: batman and robin.usually when i go and look at a 20 year old motor,it has an odd tank and mirrors,or as happened with my f88 11 years ago,a string vest version of the cab ,this motor is a prince,i was amazed at the level of care and maintenance.she could go back to work,in fact she will be tomorrow morning .until this morning i must be the only truck anorak who had never seen this truck working.lots of guys on the show circuit had told me they saw it out and about over the years,from scotland to cornwall. http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac267/pete359_bucket/harry/Picture012.jpg[/img]]
hi all,
sammy dog,i bet your 1735 looked just like this g reg.when new.i clearly remember the bloody adventure of removing these factory stripes from joint’s new powerliner 2’s.it would take hours to remove them totally in readiness for the green and red stripes.the joint factory stripes were red,cause they always had white cab’s.your’s is factory blue,so i dare say the vinyls were silver?

Does anyone know anything about John stephens transport? I’d love to hear any stories! I’m his daughter but he passed away two years ago… So many things I wish i’d asked! I grew up around lorries and my dad made up all our bed time stories like robbie Luca and the lorry that cried! Sorry to hijack the thread but if anyone has any stories I’d love to hear them x
