Do Hino still sell to the UK?

Must admit i'm not very into trucking.

Pen-pusher by day but my Granddad's Dad used to drive Scamells and my granddad used to tell me tales about riding in the back - taking a day to get from St Helens to Liverpool carrying glass to the docks, before he passed away.

The only time i've really been in a truck was with my mates Dad, late 1980s, i was around 8 or 9, and that was a Hino tipper, delivering topsoil to where-ever it needed to go, mainly local, circa 1 hr runs. Loved it as an 8 yr old lad, with my mate and his Dad.

Just wondering though - do Hino still sell into the UK, hardly seem to see them like you did around the 1980s. My mate's Dad used to point them out and most tippers then seemed to be Hino.

Cheers guys.

I seemed to recall my mate's Dad telling me since that he paid around £60k for his Hino, back in 1988.

He tooked the clock out of his Lancia Delta and put it in the Hino cab - think it was to remind him of what he had when he got home.
