Always good looking those 8 wheelers, regardless of manufacturer, with a trailer, its the epitome of a British lorry in the 50s , 60s, and 70s...
Such a Beautiful Lorry!
Wow just recently!
How much did it sell for?
I have seen it for sale recently July 2023 i yhink it was up for £12000
the steering wheels on them do vibrate when they start up no need to try and hide it ha ha
