Are they WF's ? I thought they looked more like Ford K Series with all that rear glass. But cannot recall any Ford factories in Scotland unless cabs were made by someone else . -- Last edit: 2020-07-04 16:54:26 |

I agree they are Ford K series cabs JCB but where or who in Scotland I don't know. |

The K Series cab production line to me looks a substantial operation, without knowing more I'm guessing its somewhere in England and the stock-footage was assumed to be the new Bathgate plant (as I did). I know many sources say the K-series cab was copied or had the same tooling as the Cologne product. But Ford UK did redesign it and only based it on the German cab, then tooled it (or had it sub-contracted?) in the UK. |

I expected Morrissey and Johnny Marr when I saw this title. |
