The first MAN TGS tipper trucks in South Wales. And BLB's mate Andrew Cooper has painted them too!

Biglorryblog regular Andrew Cooper has sent me these pictures and the message: "Hi Brian, following on the blog with the Thompson-bodied 8-wheeler Iveco. I thought you may be interested in these pictures of one we have just finished painting, the first of four that we are doing for our local MAN dealer.

Andrew goes on to say: "All are 440hp, high clearance 'muck-shifting' spec,with Hardox steel Thompson bodies. Tippers are becoming more and more higher-specced these days, with electric easy sheet and autogate release for the tailboard. These MAN's will be the first of the latest TGS model registered and on the road in South Wales. Shame to put it to work and get it dirty really! " You said it Andrew...and lovely paint job too!

The MAN makes a good looking tipper in those colours. Nice job, Andrew.
