well done Kevin , i think Marks lorry has moved more carriers than any other lorry out there now. He was collecting mine this time last year and he has been moving moving carriers for me for years.

This machine looks to be in good order, do you have all the numbers etc for it. looking forward to getting eyes on.

very nice carrier you've got yourself there kev, good on yer !
i like the fact that you didn't tell the wife about it. i did the same thing a couple of months back when i bought a t16, but i made the mistake of telling my little lad and he grassed me up to his mum who wasn't best pleased !!! so probably best to keep it schtum.

all the best

Shaun, No numbers yet, only an unconfirmed lower hull number, will look on the drivers plate after christmas and look for other markings, the track on this one is very good, just got it unloaded before dark and covered over, lots of extra goodies inside including some t16 engine panels up for trade!.
