wrong, I will be able to repair the machine relatively quickly and know where to get the correct replacement part. Also, as everything has been taken apart and cleaned and greased before being put back together, it shouldn’t take as long to take any areas apart again.” The family are pleased with Paul’s efforts as Jeni comments, “I can’t believe


it’s the same machine really, he’s done a fantastic job and it’s great to see an old machine like this back up and running.” Paul adds, “I’m really pleased with it – it’s turned out much better than I expected. Not only does it look the part, but it does the job too! It lifts 2 tonnes easily and will improve the speed at which we can turn around our trucks. This machine will more than pay for itself.” The total cost of the rebuild so far is £6,800, just over his original budget for a new machine of £6,000. With the BM621 almost complete, Paul will now be moving on to restore one of the Volvo lorries from his parents’ business which has been with them for over 30 years, since new. The lorry has been round the clock but Paul is confident that with a bit of TLC, it’ll be running like new again. Paul says, “We’ll have a retro yard soon full of only 70’s and 80’s machines! When they are as well built as this though, why would you have anything else?” ■


The Voice contacted the Munktell museum in Sweden who were able to confirm that Paul’s machine was made in 1973 and was delivered 1 February 1974 to Oferix in Spain.
