A brand new Volvo FH tractor unit has hit the
highways of Britain this week with the latest addition to the Stuart Nicol Transport
fleet now on active duty. Driven by long time rally fan and Coltness Car Club
member, Ally Shaw, this truck will turn heads wherever it goes. Ally calls it
'the McRae Edition' and it's pretty much unique. It's not only a visual feast,
it will surely stir the souls and memories of rally fans throughout the UK.
Painted by a young Welsh artist
Kiaran Davies from Llandovery in South Wales, the
truck features a variety of images representing the careers of Jim, Colin and
Alister with the back of the truck emblazoned with Colin's favourite Mk2.
Ally recalled seeing the finished truck for the first time: "It
was spooky, particularly the portrait of Colin, the eyes follow you all round
the room wherever you're standing."
The treats continue inside the cab. Trimmed out in two-tone leather,
the bedding and curtains feature the McRae tartan!
Amongst the first to see it was fellow CCC member Jim McRae - and he
even got to drive it, just not on the public road! Keep your eyes peeled.
Just after the truck was painted, it's first job was a return trip to
Holland from its North Lanarkshire base, so even the continentals will get a
chance to see it.
Oh, and one more thing. It's not quite finished yet. Ally has another
wee ploy up his sleeve. I'll keep you posted.
This really is a marvelous write-up. Many thanks for making the effort to detail all of this out for us. It’s a great guide! best rated truck bed extender
