| Details: Iveco Stralis demountable lorry LK08LDV was photographed about to enter Acton Works on 22nd November 2012. Comparison with earlier photographs show that is appears to have gained a new front bumper (in grey instead of black). However, the body is of more interest. DB24 was one of three bodies supplied by Feltham Coachworks in 1995/1996. Considerably longer than the standard bodies, they were intended for use with Iveco Super Cargo lorries 2554F and 2555F (replaced by LK08LDV and LK08LDY in 2008). The three bodies comprised a dropside (DB22), a curtain-sided box (DB23) and a plain box (DB24). The latter saw little use and was rebuilt in about 2007 as a dropside with crew compartment. Even after this it was rarely seen in use, this being the first on-the-road photograph. Curiously DB24 was noted at Acton Works in August 2012 fitted with stanchions and guard chains around the load space but these are not apparent in the view here. Ford Transit van 7319F is in pursuit. | ||
