A40D Hauler
A40D Hauler
The original Volvo A40D had a mesh printing on the rear of the cab window. This has been removed on later variants including the official Motorart product.
Some of you were mystified at the price we charged for the EC280 recently. Well
here we have a second occurrence of the same thing. A high end product in a low
end box. We have been assured by Motorart that this will never happen
again!.This time it’s the A40D and, like the last, I was involved in its
development which took place in 2000. This has a propshaft missing which is not
easily noticed unless studying the model in a little detail. I picked it up
quite quickly and I suspect that somewhere along the line these were assembled
and possibly rejected. A real problem if you are a factory manager. So you pack
them in a different box and cross your fingers, hoping that you won’t be found
out. Unfortunately they didn’t bank on us !!! The message is get it while you
can, otherwise there won’t be any left. We’ve picked up a few hundred for you
and you can have one for £5.95.
