This model is representative of the trunkers allocated to Birds Eye’s Grimsby factory in 1958 for the primary distribution of frozen fish products to their regional distribution depots and known as “fish fillet specials”. They had a payload of 14 tons and grossed at 24 tons. The combination of their best ever livery, the KV cab and innovative bodywork on what at that time, was a maximum weight vehicle, drew admiring comments from the transport industry and trade press, elevating these vehicles to “flagship” status for the company.
Parts:
ERF6 cab: CH7 chassis: specially cast body; 2xW5 wheel sets; TFR18 Birds Eye transfers.
