So impressed was Cox Landscapes with the fuel economy and rugged, truck-like build quality of a 3.5-tonne Mitsubishi Canter demonstration unit, that it promptly placed an order for seven. The Colchester-based company, which last year celebrated its 25th anniversary, has just taken delivery of its new, short-wheelbase Canter 3C13s.
They were supplied by local Mercedes-Benz dealer Orwell Truck & Van – the German manufacturer’s UK dealer network is also responsible for sales and support of the popular Japanese light truck range – and are fitted with dropside bodies by Commercial Bodies (East Anglia), of Norwich.
