That will be a hard act to follow.That 200 was a top bit of gear in its day, nothing better.What a shame to see it as it is,hopefully, some one will restore it, it surely deserves it.Every one connected with its earlier life deserves a big pat on the back. BillyP

At least it was somewhat together when I last seen it.... Albeit a while ago... At least it's got a good home Pat.

And great meeting you at Gundagai mate ;)

I remember the brown Turners one well...used to see him around everywhere.The main fleet of 200 I knew was Classified Concrete at Molendinar,on the GC.....Think Pink.They had a lot of them with 6v71 s and 5x3 trannies......The yard had half a dozen off the road,and a few still working......never seen such a solid chassis as they had.....triple rail from the rear/ front hanger to the front hanger of the Hendrickson...I kept one cab,not a spot of rust...ended up giving it away.....no one wanted it in those days.
