There’s a Terex on S Cheers website that may possibly be of interest but could maybes do with some paint but sand blaster and some paint and would look well nice.
Witheridge Garage have a weildiman around that size also

Looks like it was working hard but could be worth a look at I don’t mind a yoke that’s worked hard rather see that than all paint!! What are terex like? Would they have decent road speed and be reliable enough?

Need ACE's wisdom here. I believe he warned people off buying a used Manitou of a particular vintage.
JCB TM300 a better bet than a Manitou, Terex or JD of the same vintage.
Manitou has no reach (at full height the backplate is in line with the axle, not the front of the tyres)
JD has terrible electrics, and not build as strongly
Terex is now obsolete, so parts won't be good to get.
I sold our 05 TM300 earlier this year, with 12000hrs. It had been very little bother at all. It made £16200 at auction.

In a word NO! Avoid MLA 630 these will not be supported with parts for much longer and some are already obsolete.

Other manitou MLA models yes but not a MLA 630. it was the Redrock proto type TH320 that manitou bought and started building for a short time till they pulled the plug on it. Parts are hard enough to get for it as it is, once it hits 10 years old they will drop it faster than a hot potato!
Unless you want to take a punt on it being a collectors item in 25 years time???

Hard to find decent ones IMO, they are ok but they are also obsolete really, can still get a lot of the parts though as there were quite a few sold.

What is best value for money do you reckon? 20k max but would be happier at 10-15k. Thanks

Try Howard Fulton.
There's two for you. Lower hour one is a bit scruffy, but it's not dear at that.

Would there be different specs in tm 300 ?
Not much no, they're a pretty standard build. Pick up hitch is optional, as is storage box in the cab, but that's about it

Ask away, no problem.
They're all 35kph.
