Having Faith in an old BMC – Will’s Roadtransport Revival

I got a severe bout of the ‘green-apple-splatters’ while I was in Turkey last week after drinking a glass of ditch water from a truck stop. And despite being an incredibly unpleasant experience, I bet it was still better than having to spend ten minutes behind the wheel of a Faith!
You know the BMC cab that we keep seeing at the CV Show each year (and on the UK’s roads if you look VERY VERY hard)? Well, this is the cab the Turkish truck maker was offering prior to that one. If it looks vaguely familiar to you, that because it is. As far as I can tell its some sort of a bastardised old Leyland cab – kind of a cross between a Terrier and a Marathon. The Turks love them, and they especially love overloading them.
