Hi Andrew i’m good thanx, i’m sure the early F10s were 260s & 278s, then the mk2s from A reg onwards were 299s.
Where’s Patrick Dyer when you need him, that should be his next book :laughing:

The F10 I drove regularly was certainly 278 and that was on an X plate

it was the f10 that had a 240 load lugger in mate

157

I am sure that the first F10s were 240 and 278 on the “S” & “T” reg. as a mate of mine had a new F12 “W” reg which was 305 bhp on Prosper Demulders at Doncaster, and they went up in power after 2 or 3 years
cheers Johnnie :wink:

Spot on, I owned a Treg 240 F10 with a 16 speed box, I followed that with an Xreg 330 F12. The 305 engine in the F12 was designated a ‘Load Lugger’ (TD120Ga I think) and became available when the 385 intercooler was made available in F12’s other than the Globetrotter cabbed versions, the 385’s had the 12 speed SR70 box behind it and made a very nice combination of power & gear ratios.

While the 240 was a bit gutless in Spain @ 40 tons it always got me home despite getting a little warm coming up La Jonqera :open_mouth: :open_mouth:
