240 Gardner ◊ 2009-03-06 11:40	Looks like it has the Gardner 8LXB engine (the "240 Gardner") too - the engine appears to be protruding from the back of the cab. Definitely later version of Mk.2 cab, as you can make out the larger headboard. If it's a 4-wheel tractor, it is a Borderer, whilst a 6x2 would be the Leader and the 6x4 is the Venturer - sadly we can't see any wheels!
