1DAF lettered up today ( yep I saved up ROF ) just the illuminated headboard to get .

Nice to see another non-bling bling motor Dan, is that a addition to the fleet?

Thank you , it is an addition but I think I’ll leave it at that for now my spare time is still my own at the moment

Do you normally restore trailers in your spare time (looks the dog’s knob though )?

Surely it’s not a replacement for the Foden is it?

Back in the sixties a local garage ran a Martian as a breakdown, fitted with a straight eight Rolls petrol engine. Legend has it that the crew stopped a chap to ask directions and the guy asked about the oil running out underneath! They found a con rod had escaped through the crankcase.

This Scammell tanker was restored by the late Tyson Burridge and kept in his collection until fairly recently changing ownership.
