Default Great story

Hello Keith,

It is great to see something come back from the brink and be able to trace something you had a part of all those years ago. A lot of twists and turns and interesting photos. Now shoot me down in flames - a Cab 13?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Default Part 6

Alan has just sent me some more pictures of the No8 (and his CGT 9).

The No9 is used to move it around for the time being. They make a nice pair don't they? Alan also has a F15A, a 7A2 cab 12 CGT and a HUP in need of complete rebuild.

Not many have seen this No9 as it has been out of circulation for a long while. It was built from one of the NOS Hughes Trading bodies back in the '70s.

Having just watched the best of Top Gear it reminds me of the HiLux a bit.

The panels are just sitting on the No8 in a trial fit.
