Well done Lauren. I remember Brian rallying the Ford back in the 1980's.

Default F22

Hi Lauren

Here is the F22 info put together by Hanno

http://www.mapleleafup.nl/cmpvehicles/f22.html

What an unusual truck

Do you know of the Morris Commercial CS8 the IWM had ? A very original example . I think Duxford had it at one time ?

Mike

Hi!

I'll ask about the CS8 the next time I'm in. I've not had the opportunity to volunteer as much this year as work has taken priority, but I'm hoping the F22 will set me back into the MV hobby.

Exhibits do get moved around and some are on loan from other collections etc. Is this the one?

The F22 being unual is one of the main reasons I went for her (that and my partner losing her patience with me constantly umming and erring over which vehicle to get I'm looking forward to seeing if I can track down any more information on her.

TTFN
Lauren

Default That's it

Lauren

Yes thats the CS8 I was asking about . I have been told it's pretty much unmolested, with the original woodwork in situ . A chap from Wales, Brian Cook, measured it up and supplied some drawings to me , for which I am eternally grateful. I thought it was a GS , but it may be something else. Wonder where it is now ? MIKE

Hi Mike,

That Morris is an Air Compressor version, you can just see the top of it in the side shot. The top half of the side boards hinge down on these. I am sure this vehicle was on the show circuit once upon a time as the civvy registration number is familiar.

regards, Richard
