We’re kicking off 2021 with a huge load of brilliant truck features! From Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and a trip to Italy, we really put the miles in to bring you this one.

Editor’s Choice is R.S. Carmichael’s fantastic Scania S730, the jewel in the crown of a dazzling fleet.

A very special feature this month is Five Star Vehicle Deliveries Volvo FH 500 which is airbrushed with the McRae family rallying dynasty. Jimmy McRae brought along L555 BAT, son Colin’s 1995 championship winning Subaru Impreza and we tell the story of that incredible season.

We check out a fully Kelsa’d Scania R500 XT tipper, an Irish Mercedes-Benz Actros StreamSpace tag artic, test drive a low-deck manual Daf XF at Fly-By-Nite, visit Redgate to see their newly restored Daf 2800 ATi Space Cab.

There’s loads more crammed in as Peter Davies looks back on 2000-2004 in our Time Machine series, we visit Fryer’s Transport in Ipswich to see their new Volvos and meet Ray White’s Volvo F16. Not only that we have memories from the road from veteran Frank Fiddy and the usual slice of action from the road in Team T&D.

So kick back, relax and enjoy the UK’s biggest, best selling and best value truck magazine….
