Could anybody share his C8 body drawings on here? I have been asked by a couple of people quite recently. I'm sure David would have liked to see new guys showing an interest in refabricating these 8-cwt bodies.

Hanno the drawings were originally done by Ian Richardson of Lancashire UK, Ian measured the C8 1A2 body that now is owned by Nick Bullock. Ian posted me the drawings over a three year period . I ran a wanted advert in W&T and Ian responded , Ian owns a cab 11 C8 himself, haven't heard from Ian for many years now.

Thanks for that info Mike.

It begs the question: does anybody have Ian's drawings and can he share them on here, please?
