Yes Zag, i realise they don't have them but the tub is not much wider than the body (4"?) ... just looks bare to me and i think if they deleted the front ones it would look more balanced... 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Rear tub is definitely wider than the main body
 It makes it more useful than than the standard pick up but not quite as attractive in my eyes

My mate is a full time gamekeeper and he can drive a 450 Honda quad into the rear due to the wider tailgate so a useful bit of kit but you are right Zag and i have seen him struggle getting through farm gates. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Might as well get the wider space area and tailgate width, makes all the difference instead of struggling with loads at the timber yard etc
I'd like a TDi one! Great picture of 3 of them in this months LRO on a slip way in Port Issac having launched their fishing boats  |

But then it would fall foul of the law as the wheels would protrude too much from the main body, hence why theyre not on the rear. |

I think that's because they all seem to get fitted with wide tyres on modulars, which probably project beyond the standard bodywork.
Nice 130, SGH, particularly with the black wheels. Between that and the 110 tipper, you've got a very serious pair of vehicles Darren

They look cracking with them. Thought Mr Dot was being a bit off having a pop at someone's new motor but he is right - they do look great with them on 2015 110 USW XS in Santorini with premium contrast leather seats in tan/black, black headlining and with Dual Finish alloys (in the garage, now on Wolf rims with Goodyear MT/Rs)
2012 '62' 2.2 X-Tech 110 USW now gone ... 1984 90 soft top with full roll cage, 200 tdi engine etc now sold 2012 USW XS 2.2 "FUU" now gone.... |

Would love that
Have you put it in the For Sale section here
Just needs a TDi in it I'm risking my TDCi as we can get round it if it gives trouble but for local work I would much prefer a TDi. Would like to re-build one in Keswick Green, galv chassis, Turner remanufactured engine etc Maybe run it on veg oil...
