Driving the Volvo F7.

[@Sinnerboy88]

Hello there, man! I see you posting a lot of videos with the Volvo F7. I was wondering maybe if you could tell me, are these worth much today? I have two of them. But they're both rigid six wheel tippers though.. not artics. They haven't really been used in probably 10-15 years. They've been parked up in my yard I drove one of them when I was very young. I used to move sand with it. But they're both in very good, used condition. One has an insulated body, I think it was used as a tar lorry prior to my Father owning it. They're good and solid and the cabs are both very good on them. Both of then were tested and drove to were they are today. Just been sitting up a while. One in particular was owed by a man from new and he thoroughly treated the cab with sealant or waxoyl or something to keep it in mint condition. My Father had a small contracting business back in the day and they both belonged to him. They seem to be very rare today.. so I never actually see any for sale, so I've no idea what they're worth. I also have an FL6 and a Foden 3325 with the Cummins engine. Also used to have Leylands but the Leylands are sold. There was a Bison and a Reiver.

@@Sinnerboy88 they are certainly worth saving! They are going up in value too, where abouts are you based I would love to possibly come have a look and I might even know a couple people who might be interested

The Foden was great lorry too! It had the crash box and the big Cummins engine. I drove it too and it was like day and night power wise compared to the F7s.. the power it had you wouldn't even feel a load on it. It was a tar lorry also. It has a insulated body as well. I'm not sure if it's a Charlton or a Neville Charrold. My Dad used to say it was "Chariot" body.. and from his talk it was a very good lorry body. I think he was likely mispronouncing it. I look online and from what I see there's Charlton and Charrold two names that make bodies for tippers in England. I'll have a look at it and see if I can find any plates or name on it.
