Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Looking through the net at britains lorries and stumbled across this lovely model. Was this ever part of production or is this one of the prototypes out there? Cannot find any images of this model other than this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think it was a production model but not for the UK. I've never seen one personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's a shame if it was only a us version, its a great looking model. Like I say have only ever seen this one pic which is from vectis auctions so will be keeping an eye out if one will ever crop up again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've never seen this before either, looks well thought out/executed. Maybe a pre production model albeit not listed, anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Also saw this on eBay a while ago not sure whether its a convo or not made out to be genuine but I've never seen this before either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 They look to me like very well achieved code 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Wincanton one may have been a 'special commission' from the milk factory, maybe for their tanker drivers as a prize or something, quite possibly. The BP tanker could have been a prototype and intended but perhaps BP would not give Britains license to do it so they produced the Shell one instead. The shape of the decaling on the tank is exactly the same as the Milk Marque tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 both new to me . We had Wincanton transport collect bulk milk from us (Battle, Sussex for those who don't know) before we sold the dairy herd in '81so I don't know how far their territory covered.
