N155 GTR, Leyland DAF 95 FT360 Ati. July 2022.
I took the top photo of our race truck back in 2017 and presented a print to the owner. At the time I had a conversation with him about the tractor unit and its history. It has been in the race paddock with the trailer shown here most of it’s life. As you can see from the images it is still in very good condition and has super low mileage considering the age of it. I made a throw away comment about never scrapping it or selling the plate which has subsequently turned out to mean I am now the custodian of the wagon. Five years from a passing comment to having the beast on the drive is something I didn’t see coming but I am going to take on the challenge of restoring this truck to as close to new as I can.
It is 26 years old and in mileage terms it has probably done no more than 3-5 years work. It needs a fair few things putting right and I have already started getting a list together to make sure it passes it’s roadworthiness test over the winter. The plan is to start taking it to truck shows so that it gets used rather than sitting still all the time.
