Not that many filling stations about at that time so you took what you could! I remember my Dad had a good few of the old steel 2 gallon fuel cans (I remember Pratt’s and Shell)of that era kicking (with those well made brass screw-on lids) about for many years when I was a kid.
Great to see. What this site is all about. Jim.

Definitely Chris and I spent weeks in an old (even then ) Mk V - My favourite Wagon. 2700 VF and 2798VF both owned by the Wyatt brothers Ben and Johnny. Jim.
