A Canterbury Tale is one film with carriers in it as you describe, location not far from here.

Now that is a good film, lots of carrier shots in it.

Im fine for track Richie, i have a set back in the yard nearly ready to fit. most of it is very nearly new.

Hanno i think this is numbe 5 on the carrier restoration, i should be getting the hang of it by now.

Alpine - go find one and buy it , you wont regret it.

Once again guys thanks for all the comments, glad you are enjoying it.

Too many Ferrets at the moment, driving Ricks at Beltring was great fun having it stall on the entrance to the field was great fun not. Great fun all the same

I spoke to him yesterday I owe you a few drinks well more than a few drinks much appreciated

It was good fun that, I don't think the land rover owner next to us appreciated it though a bit of mud got on his vehicle. I wish I'd known earlier that it would upset him I 'd have done a proper job on it
