The quote above is from Mr. T. Hewitt of Taunton Meat Haulage Limited. He goes on to say that the maintenance cost for his Mercedes CV is mainly for oil filters and normal maintenance parts'.
In all, Mr. Hewitt has twenty Mercedes CVs and, apart from reliability, he has some very complimentary things to say about fuel consumption and service. He ends his letter : I daren't tell you, they are the best lorries we ever had.'
Mercedes CVs are light in weight—to give you bigger payloads ; quick off the mark and fast-moving—forshorter delivery times and covered by a comprehensive spares and service network throughout the UK, and unequalled on the Continent.
Drivers like Mercedes, CVs too. Because they have fully syncromesh gearboxes, because the cabins are quiet and comfortable... and because they're the world's. safest. Examples of safety ? A three-line air braking system. A full exhaust brake. A load compensating device that gives com
pletely safe braking whether laden or unladen and eliminates jack-knifing. If you're on the point of ordering new CVs, keep Mercedes uppermost in your mind ... along with the fact that delivery is a matter of weeks.
