It’s certainly got the aluminium grille surround off an F16, be dead easy to tell from the RH side.

Looks very familiar to me. There were 3 old Volvos parked at a farm outside Aberfeldy 2 or 3 years ago and there was a similar F12 with the same skull and crossbones on the cab locker. There was also a white and blue F16 Globetrotter and a blue, white and red flat top F16 on the same site. If it is the same F12, it looks as though it has had a respray as the one i saw was fairly rusty. I posted pics on the Graveyard thread about a year ago, check them out.

I looked into it, it appears they didn’t own it. Thanks for the post though.

pretty sure it belonged to a guy called andy wilson also called the pirate from scotland and the pic above is the same lorry he had three this one a j reg and a non globetrotter one on an f i think i believe he pasted away in 2011 and his fleet was sold but it had been parked up since early to mild two thousands hope this helps

Hello Euroscot,
I knew F116BNH from Brand new, A good mate of mine bought it from John Billows in Kettering and at the time was doing low loader work from Bedfordshire to Europe, Greece and Spain mainly,
I know he sold it to a chap from Scotland who told him he was going to ‘Mothball’ it for a few years before he decided what he was going to do with it :open_mouth:
Dont know why it’s got the F12 badges on it though, it was definately a 16, because I remember him getting the plate for it!


Sorry, it does’nt show the number plate on these, but I’m sure I’ve got some more somewhere. :wink:
