Hi - I have only ever seen one L-Plate Cargo and that was a good few years ago in the Warrington area. It was a 1718 as I recall. Anybody else seen any???

Well; to follow on from this thread, the other day as I was driving a Mercedes Axor 18-tonner (God awful thing!!) down the A12 near Colchester I spotted (and overtook) an L-registred 2624 Ford Cargo tipper, with registration L929 VHY (I think). The reg may be wrong, as I only glanced it and was thoroughly, though pleasantly surprised at seeing such a rare beast (in the day!) still working. It was dark blue/black in colour.

To follow on from this, L629 VHY has now been purchased by Roger Hastings. It is possibly one of the last of the heavyweights, having been made in December 1992, but not getting registered until Aug 1993. I saw it on Saturday on a visit to his yard (sorry no pics).

Three years on, sadly L629 VH. Cannot be found on the DVLA record.

I probably put the reg in wrong then. Is the Cargo still at work then?
