Volvo F10 and F12 at Work 1977-83 (Hardback) - Patrick W Dyer

Volvo F10 & F12  1977–83 at Work follows the development of the highly  successful F10 and F12 trucks, beginning with the N-series and ending  with the legendary Globetrotters. The book is full of evocative  photographs supplied by enthusiasts and drawn from the Volvo archive.

Patrick Dyer’s first  book on Volvo, dealing with the F88 and  F89, took the reader up to the F88 290 – a truck  intended as a stop gap during the development of the F10 and F12. In  1977, the F10 and F12 with their dramatic new cabs were revealed to  the world at the Frankfurt show. However, Volvo was never a company  to rest on its laurels and in 1979 it delighted drivers and  confounded the competition by introducing an entirely new concept to  the market – the raised roof sleeper. The Globetrotter was born.

The fine selection of  over 200 photographs shows UK operators as well as continental ones.  This collection of images, accompanied by informative text, will  evoke a host of memories from people in the trucking world. Volvo  F10 & F12 1977–83 at Work is a must-have for every Volvo  enthusiast.

This is the seventh  book by Patrick W Dyer published by Old Pond Publishing. Patrick  lives in Essex where his day job is in motor sport. He holds a Class  One licence and drives whenever possible. He is the proud owner of a  1983 Volvo F12, finished in the livery of Edwin Shirley Trucking.
