You can't beat sitting in an old truck like that on a rainy day with a cup of tea and a bacon sarnie from a roadside burger van. All you need now is a radio cassette player and a Van Morrison tape 👍🏻 🙂

I had plenty of days out with my dad in one of these moving furniture, if there was 3 blokes on the job I'd be on the parcel shelf. Sadly that old thing had rotted by the time I was able to drive, then it was a Leyland roadrunner or a Merc 814.

Lovely trucks. Mine is a 330 but still has the 4 speed box. That started nice and smoke free. Mine is low miles 80.000 but needs the valve stem seels doing as its very smokey untill its warm. Lovely to add the step from you grandads truck.

I learned to drive in a TK . 9 yrs old round the turf fields down on the Romney Marsh in Kent .. My uncle had half a dozen KMs he ran as muck away tippers too. I ended up in the army & passed my HGV/car dual test in one. Lessons on the Monday took my test of Weds afternoon... Having a TK is on my bucket list.. nice lil lorry you got there.
