HI there

I live in High Wycombe and I bought my little 3.5t from a guy between Banbury and Daventry (you pass Aston Le Walls on the way to his place). A friend also bought they lorry from him, in fact, it was on their recommendation that I went to him. He sells all sizes of lorries and seems to have a good reputation. The friend had PX her 3.5t for something a little more beefy and she went back to him and got what she paid for the 3.5t back. After sales service is good too. I don't know if I'm allowed to name them on here so I could PM it to you if you like. They have a website and a facebook page.
 
Thanks all.
I had a fantastic solitaire which weighed 5.5t unladen, but finances dictated it had to be sold sadly. I csnt afford one of theirs made for me, and they no longer do the side loaders.
Finances have now changed and I can afford to run a lorry again, but what I am looking for is quite difficult to find.
Will contact Tristar, thanks Rog. No side load showing on their site, but maybe they could make one at an affordable cost. One of my fiends has one of their boxes and has been pleased with it.
 
its worth asking at White park Services (A5 between Towcester and Weedon) nice chap and has a good reputation for knowing his stuff, he has a few outside for sale usually and services many of the local boxes so may know of something if he has nothing suitable at the time
 
Have a look Andrew Saywell's boxes at Horesboxes.com. He and the Butchers in Daventry share some stock so you'll probably see some advertised on both sites. I just bought a 3.5 ton from him but had a look at some at the Butchers' place too, both were really helpful.
 
Thanks,I've also brought from the Butchers before, and would again. At the moment,their website doesn't show anything suitable, but may give them a call and see.
I only know of white park services, but aren't they something to do with the butchers, too?
