A local haulier near me had the first Foden 4000 series truck fitted with the N14 525 engine in the UK. He was the chief test owner / driver for Cummins and the new engine at the time. It was finished in an eye catching green and gold livery and spent most of its time hauling agricultural bulk loads of grain and lime and quarry products. It always sounded great when you heard it on the road.
@johnyjakebrake5825 Not that I can recall, it drove well. I stripped the gearbox when it was around 18 months old as it wouldn't change gear smoothly. You've made a wonderful job of restoring it, would love to see it again.
I mot'd that around 2005ish at Wolverhampton gvts when I joined dvsa . Kevin is a grand chap. She's a lovely looking lorry and sounds sweet . Top job on the colours
