I think it's 92, Dave, so I guess it will be taxable, but hopefully will qualify for vintage insurancethough.Must qualify as a historic vehicle for tax purposes - indeed anything made before 1st Jan 1977 is free as long as you apply for it.

What's wrong with a cargo Pennine? By the tone of your post maybe I should ask what's right with a cargo?word in your ear, keep off a Cargo,
either Mercedes, Man or daf
So ley, would I be right in thinking that anything before 2002 would qualify? Out of interest what lorry do you drive?My old lorry is 1987, and qualifies. NFU limit is 15 years old.
Unfortunately Pete I don't have bottomless pocketsScania if you have bottomless pockets.
Cargo tend to be a rot box in cab dept, and will give you hours of endless fun keeping on top of it, they used to be bad on the underside of cab, more so than any other makes,What's wrong with aendless fungo Pennine? By the tone of your post maybe I should ask what's right with a cargo?
You'll need them to run a Cargo.Unfortunately Pete I don't have bottomless pockets
E prefix MAN 8 136. It manages about 17 to the gallon, loaded and towing the caravan. As its so old(30 this year) it does not have or require a speed limiter. I would check up with NFU re date cut off and premium. The faults are mainly the narrow tyres, they are not as good as they could be in fields. Cab was rotten around the front screen, and the water ingress had rotted most of the floor, but that was a simple repair.More than can be said for the screen surround! Front wheel arches were rebuilt when the floor was done. That may put you off, but I only paid £700.00 for the old girl, and its done me well for more than 12 years.So ley, would I be right in thinking that anything before 2002 would qualify?

They will match the bottomless, doorless cab!You'll need them to run a Cargo.
As his is made in 1992 I doubt itMust qualify as a historic vehicle for tax purposes - indeed anything made before 1st Jan 1977 is free as long as you apply for it.
Whys that thenword in your ear, keep off a Cargo,

I would go for an 8 150. much nicer engine. I have one in my old girl.Get a MAN 8.163 if you can afford it. No speed limiter before 2002 but don`t go inside emission controlled zones as these old trucks are not compliant, thus the courier firms got rid of the at about that time.
I had a 10.150, deadly slow ( 6 cylinder non turbo) and poor gear change but reliable with a good cab. The 163 was more economical, much better performance and still no problems. It was much more car-like to drive.I would go for an 8 150. much nicer engine. I have one in my old girl.
Mine is a straight six, non turbo, but slow, its not. It will if pushed hit 70! However, its never asked to do that now, 50 usually is the max. Gearchange is ok, but it helps to keep the linkage on top of the gearbox greased, and the plastic guides at the lever bottom in good order.I had a 10.150, deadly slow ( 6 cylinder non turbo) and poor gear change but reliable with a good cab.
