Details: Mercedes dustcart 2483M was photographed in Alperton on 19th December 1990, when the lorry was just three months old. The large slogan along the bodysides still has the original lower-case u on underground, this being changed to a capital U not long after. There is a 'basket' under the nearside of the body, and this was later adapted (at least on similar 2482M) to include a clinical waste container. The pipe ends later seen in this area on 2482M are not present and there is also no 'GLC Exempt Vehicle' label. The latter was soon applied, even though the GLC had ceased to exist in 1986. 2483M was withdrawn in 1997 with no obvious replacement, while 2482M remained until 2000 and was replaced by the first of the Mercedes Econic dustcarts.
