It was purchased from a scrapyard in November 1997 and restored as a training exercise by the City of Bradford Metropolitan Council. Completed in February 199 having taken 2,100 hours to restore. The Project Co-ordinator was Terry Pycroft and the Project Leader Allen Freer. A full account of the restoration appeared in a series of articles in Classic & Vintage Commercials Magazine.
  The Pakamatic was introduced in 1959 and utilised an aluminium alloy body which was left un-painted. A single reciprocating packer plate compacted the refuse which was discharged by rearward tipping of the body. The design was by Fernand Rey and was produced under licence to Semat-Rey of France. The Pakamatic proved to be highly popular with customers. The 'N designation denotes a narrow bodied vehicle.
  FBU 227 K has been extensively rallied and was awarded first in class at the 1999 and 2000 London to Brighton runs.
