Value of Old Foden lorry

[dragonfly]

I have an old Foden 4350 lorry parked at the bottom of my yard. Its 1991 model tractor unit, with the Eagle engine.
Its been parked there for a while, but was working perfectly when parked up.
Its got a V5 and is registered as an Agricultural Vehicle.
I have been asked several times over the last 12 months if its for sale? And for how much?
Having made the decision to sell, what is a fair price? (I am not after big money, as two of the potential customers wish to restore it for shows etc)

1991 Foden !
I didn't realise they kept making them that long ?

Somehow I always associate Fodens with the 1950's - never see any newer ones.

They were taken over by Paccar in the 80s who after taking over layland Daf stopped the Foden name about 15 years ago. Most of the Paccar Fodens had Cat engines so surprised it has an RR Eagle engine which was never the best, unless it's ex army?
Just had a look and Perkins took over and developed the Eagle engines from RR in the 80s

I thought it would have a cat or cummins or am I thinking on different models of foden

Perkins Eagle was an option on Fodens, optional on ERFs and Seddon Atkinson too.
Pretty rarely specced though, usually Cummins.

Only 4 miles from the ode Foden and ERF works here .One skip hire firm was still running a old Mickey Mouse cabbed one in the 90s It was about the only truck that never got stuck on the landfill .Shame it has not got a Gardner engine in it

Used to drive a 4350 double drive with the Cummins engine top power in the day mine was a 1989 on a g plate used it to deliver bricks and blocks to buildings sites would pull 24 tonnes of bricks across a swamp had fornominal grip but felt the cable gear change let it down a bit, but on the plus side had the great but now forgotten twin splitter box, brilliant thing only ever needed the clutch to pull of then the left leg was redundant

Pictures would help the valuation

Cat engine wasn't too brilliant either by the read of this.
