Default Brian Nunn's F22

Here is a picture of yesteryear when Brian Nunn owned this F22:

"And here she is in the beginning, over forty years ago, after cutting down a tree (big sapling) which had grown between the chassis rails, and moving three or four cars which were blocking her in. The main reason for her still being there, her stable mate had just been sent for scrap. Just putting some air into the tyres, and prepping for the tow back home."

OK, still in the spot where was found, at least three vehicles had been moved to get to this point. The sapling is just visible, but others show it after it had been removed.

one Sunday morning, on Saracen recovery duty. Just tow an eleven ton 6x6 dead vehicle to an unsuspecting mate, cause he was the nearest.

Indeed,with 10.50-16 tyres, it seems. I asked Brian and he said: “That’s correct, the smaller wheels and tyres were fitted by the garage, to make it faster for the recovery works.”
