UK Update – Top Gear – Part 2

Following on from the purchase of the supremely handsome Range Rover, we are welcoming a further addition to the fleet. A DAF LF220 18 tonne dropside lorry. It comes equipped with an impressive 10 tonne capacity crane.

The engine has the latest generation of Euro 6 diesels to meet the strict industry standards required to operate within central London and other low-emission zones. It has been fitted with an array of important safety features such as side alarms (for cyclists) and 360 degree cameras. Most importantly, we understand that it also has plenty of cup holders!
