I remember the day that Debbie from DCs and myself picked it up from Market Rasen in about 1990, supposedly with a seized engine but it started up first go. I really must make the effort to come and inspect the fleet one day. Edited January 21, 2012 by radiomike7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Graves Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 hi all, going through some photos this weekend i found these i took in the mid eighties at horseshoe green garage at cowden near edenbridge kent, the owner also had an explorer the crane of which ended up on the constructor. the constructor had the meadows petrol replaced with a leyland 680 power plus, it was in beautiful condition and on the inside drivers door was a hand painted figure of robin hood, presumably the truck belonged to the sherwood foresters. not long after i took the pictures the constructor was sold and disappeared and the explorer was cut up, perhaps someone out there knows of its whereabouts, i believe the owner retired and the garage closed, hope of interest, tony g.
