Still working hard, but by the look of the front grill this old girl is over-heating a bit!

Well ADR, Theres a story behind this Foden Its a conversion that old Brian did, Its got Seddon/Aki axles & chassis couple to the Foden front end, This was all done by the late Brian himself who was a bloody genius with such things, He contacted Foden to see if what he wanted to do was all up & above board, & They gave him the go-ahead, It was completed ina very short time & presented to the Testing Station at Perth & passed with full colours, Regards Larry.
