Really good motors but were spoiled when the 290 was intoduced, they forgot to fit brakes to them and they had a habit of blowing batteries up, didnt like them one little bit after the 88’s

I can see it now. Thanks.

Is that little Roy who drove the DAF 95 Road Train for a few years? I seem to remember he did mainly embassy work.

Hi all came across this thread of 88’s and couldn’t leave without putting a pic of my own 88 NBH518M pic taken approx 1980 with a Sea Route trailer, I knew what it’s like to feel King of the road!!

And here’s a pic of a model I did of it

Regards Jimski
