New Volvo 380D

Post #1 by Jim M » Fri Jun 10, 2011 10:08 pm

Just got off the phone to my mate and apparently he might be going on this new machine Chepstow plant has acquired. According to my mate at the moment there are only 4 across Europe and Chepstow has one of them seeing they are one of Volvo's biggest customers if not the biggest in the UK. I asked him to take some pictures of this new D series machine and send them my way so i can post them up, so hopefully it wont be to long .
Any one else seen one before?
