I think Kev has kindly donated a machine to help with the self-loading part of the equation. The sheer genius of the man is mesmerising.

Here we go then. I don’t think I can stand any more texts, calls PMs and posts on here!!

Whilst I mention those, thank you all for your interest, it’s been really great.

Delivered today, a 2015 Mercedes Zetros. The very same one I should have bought two years ago instead of the Xerion.

It’s done 33,000 kms, is 330hp and, crucially, has an Allison auto gearbox. As far as I’m aware it is totally unique in the U.K.

One of the first jobs will be bigger boots. Then working out the hydraulic requirements.

My Bredal body is away for a total power coat job and it will get all new bearings and belts before going back on.

Took her out for a little spin, very nice.
