With 400hp and a custom paint job, this Foden S106 tractor had huge head-turning potential in 1984. So much so that 'Truck & Driver' put it on the cover of the very first issue, and followed it up with a 4-page feature.
Anyway, the magazine will be celebrating its 25th birthday next spring, and we were hoping to feature this very same truck in the anniversary issue. I've checked on the DVLA website, and incredibly 'A904 ANT' is still on the road today.
The question is, does anybody know where it is?
hi,i am that sad about t+d i can even tell you where i was when i bought that 1st issue!,anyway,i think i have seen this foden, in showland somewhere?those old iron lung foden,s have long since been a favourite with the traveller,s.will find out all i can.
How about getting in touch with Steve Murty and seeing ProJet ?
Done a little research, this lorry is indeed on the fairgrounds and is operated by midlands traveller William Sheldon, it was recently replaced with a Volvo FH12 but from photo's I've seen she was still in exellent order so theres a good chance shes still in use with the owner.
who's the dude standing to the left. More importantly, what does he look like 25 years on?
I am sure that that very same vehicle also participated in that very first never to be forgotten British Truck Racing Grand Prix at Donnington
Did anyone see the tonight programme a couple of months ago with Tif Needell presenting about foereign trucks coming into Britain? There was an experiment done on it about sideswiping found it rather strange as it was the 1st time that i had seen such an old lhd foden.
Is this the same truck?
yes its still in use today not by me but sold it to my mate john brixton still on fairgrounds
Is Phil Morris still in the haulage game? If so what's he running now? Does anybody have any pictures of this Foden when operating in the 80?
