I have never seen one except in a book, but the predecessor to the F86 was a fire engine chassis called F84 and a google search does reveal an F85 in 1972.

Hi Bubbleman,

I wonder if this was an eight legger ? There was a few of these running out of Tunstead in the early 70s when the M61 was being put in near Bolton.

taken but the Bond mini car (175cc) in the picture must say it was a few years ago

my dad drove a d series for a firm in wolves and he used to deliver the aluminium chambers to bendix in the late 70’s they were made by a firm in middlemore road smethwick.he also used to take them to a little place in wareham next to the station, it was a good old motor.got a photo here on the way back from wareham on the a350 just outside westbury about 1979
