As this is a tractor unit it will be a Mandator, so 1964+ Mandator would be a reasonable guess, although a later date, if offered, would be accepted. -- Last edit: 2011-08-15 12:40:49
volvof10 ◊ 2012-07-15 16:14	I think that this is more likely an AEC Mammoth Major TG8R, as the vehicle is too short for an artic (the Mandator) and also there are no air lines between the back of the cab and the start of the tank. Air Products were avid users of AEC's, indeed operating probably the largest fleet of the rare V8 bodied Mandator tractor unit.
