More polishing for you to do. . I like the shape of the rear wings and the underslung mountings.

You’ll need sunglasses on whenever your in the cab now.

Hello, to everyone. Andrew, those mudguards are superb, body/ panel beating craft at its best in design and workmanship.
The cockpit is also superb, not over the top but adds character to the truck.

Regards Paul

took a stroll past the old rom river site in risca today , all traces now gone and a housing estate built there, I not sure but I think they moved further up the valley.Mechanic 77 may know their whereabouts. As a youngster I can remember the lorries in and out of there with the steel wire and mesh. I think BRS did some work and owner drivers others.There was for a number of years an ergo cabbed AEC on site for internal shunting. Sorry took no photos , never got round to it and now wish I had.
