About 12 months ago going up the A10 from Cambridge i was nailed buy a F88 dark red in colour this thing just showed what could be done with a little T L C
had dealings with a guy Bridgenorth way who was rebuilding a F88 but that was a couple of years ago any one seen it (not red one) if i remember.

I`m crying into me cornflakes. If any one is restoring one i have got a F88 door badge for a good home.

Should be given to one of these chaps!


The older one won an award on Sunday at the Tyne Tees historic & comercial

This looks like an old F88 that a nice young lady going by the name of The Green Pirate used to drive I don’t know her real name but she used to pull ‘reefers’ and me and another lad roped and sheeted a load of dogmeat for her at Anglia canners in Penketh one day.

37

Would,nt it be great if we could get a photo of WHA 787M when she was on the road!!. Someone must have one somewhere. Im sure she was someones pride and joy once.

I don’t want to be picky lads but HA was a Smethwick reg up to 1974.When the “N” suffix came in HA was Dudley.
