Yes Mike that is Definitely Rory's CS8. I even recognize it being parked outside his house. What I'm not sure of though is, This bloke says he has the only two wireless bodies? I helped Rory (with others) with the unloading of the two he bought. These must surely be the same two? And yet Rory is restoring one and sold one. I feel a phone call coming on later today. I'll let you know. Ron

OK I just spoke to Rory. He did in fact sell both bodies to that chap Bob. Rory is content to refurbish the remains of the prototype body he already had, after purloining some vital bracketry from the other two before they went. Ron

Yes I totaly agree Dave but....For twenty years now I have claimed to own one of only two Morris PU8/4's in the world. I'd love to be proved wrong. It would be great to talk to another owner Ron
