This year-2000 Kenworth T-300 is believed to be the only example in the UK.
When William Plummer from Weymouth, Dorset was searching for his first classic truck, a Stateside example seemed the natural choice. William has always loved American cars and his father runs a limousine business. He was keen to combine these childhood experiences and family connections with his practical experience as a mechanic with Fry’s Commercials of Mosterton, Dorset. William has enjoyed working for Fry’s for the last five years, servicing local fleet trucks with everything from a 3.5-tonner to an articulated 44 tonne HGV.
