Here it is as promised, the magnificent Mike Beer Transport Volvo NH12 - a left-hooker that served with honour in Mike's Dutch operation, which as Biglorryblog recalls was held in high esteem by the Dutch enforcement authorities who hailed it as the right way to 'flag out'.
What was behind the Dutch business? Well, the soaring price of fuel amongst other things---although MBT did have quite a bit of Continental business as well. Colin Farbrace at Mike Beer Transport very kindly arranged for this picture to be scanned and sent to me and I am most grateful to him and all at MBT for their help. Alas, the bonneted beauty has long since left the fleet but I thought you'd all like to see a shot of what was then a very rare beast indeed - and what a smart-looking rig too.
This NH is purchased at Holland.
He is imported from England I think, and a few months later was he back again in england
Her a photo how the truck was in Holland...
