For those that are interested, my partner is in the process of restoring an F88 that has been mentioned in this thread. :smiley:
There has been a lot of blood sweat and tears put into it with many panels being made by hand, she will soon be on the round and doing the rounds at the classic shows and i couldnt be prouder

That looks very good - you’ve every right to be proud.
Keep up the good work.

Cheers Keith

Hi Rowly,
Darley Ford Coaches?
Regards Andrew.

That’s them I couldn’t remember was it you who told me or someone else and I went down regards rowly

Tbh lads I can’t remember where it was.
I go down that area every week to different places, a lot of them only once, plus it was about 3 years ago…sorry.
It was a haulage place though, not too sure about coaches.

This old gal was in A French scrapyard many moons ago
