Hen's teeth aside; I'm looking for an ultra rare bumper spoiler in any condition (within reason!). Not many people seem to use this Forum unfortunately, but you never know!?!

I just missed one of these on e-bay recently. I want the one from the Turbo 150 Special.
Does anybody have one? Will anybody lend me one to copy?

ASFAIK, 0815 or 3828, the under bumper air dams/spoilers are a universal fit. How much did the one on Ebay go for just out of interest! ?

The 0815 Turbo Special's spoiler incorporates the front bumper, has foglights within it and wraps arouns to attach below the step.
Proper HGV models have a higher cab, an extra step and, as a result, the spoiler fits below the bumper.
I was offered the front spoiler for £60 but was beaten to it before I could reply.

Yep, sorry - forgot about the unique nature of the 0815 Specials. Look forward to seeing it in the not too distant future!!

Many thanks to Roger Hastings who has kindly sold me one of these. Should of got in touch with him ages ago, but hey ho! What a top chap, had a good chinwag on the phone with him today and am taking Gertie (yep, that's the Cargo's name) over for a visit to his premises this coming Saturday. ;D

Is Roger still running his cargos ? i have seen his yard and it looked like my kind of heven lol I've never met Roger, though was always aware he had a yard full of Cargo's in both serviceable/non-serviceable condition. According to the chat I had with him yesterday, he has 24 Cargo's of varying sizes in his yard, though I don't know how many of them are serviceable, but yes he does run some of them on a 'crust earning' basis. I think he said he had 4 working, Cummins engined six-wheel tippers on the go! I went to Retro Truck Show last year in Gertie and Roger was there in E757 and we both managed to miss each other throughout the course of the event. Oh well, am looking forward to visiting him on Saturday.
