32/4 with slight facelift compared to /vehicle_1005137-Seddon-32-4-1969.html ?? Glass's has a vague reference to something happening during 1970 to provide "improved instrumentation in cab and better engine access" which might suggest refreshed styling for grilles. |

This could refer to the changes as follows from September 1970 (which I will attempt to digest in conjunction with other design details around this time). Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" "The 16:four range 16-ton rigids and 18-ton gvw tractors has also been revised for the Show. Instead of being based on 13:four units it is now based on the 32:four series. This means that it has the taller cab which incorporates an extra 10in. section in the front panel. The floor line is raised and the shorter cab is now only used on the 13:four range powered by the Perkins 6.354. .... The front dash is also a plastics moulding and the instrument nacelle has been moved from the centre to immediately in Front of the driver with a matching cubby box on the other side. Twin windscreen wipers are mounted above the screen " |
