Default New F8 comes home.

After months of trying to find a date to bring her back, I finally made it last week. This lovely little F8 is now back in Kent.

Another successful border raid!

Default F8

Nice addition to the collection James, well done!

Look forward to a few more pictures.

Good to see you've got a Flatty to take for a burn

Hi Tony, thanks.

Compared to the armour, the F8 is a real hotrod.

I just have to get her registered in the UK and then it will be great to take her out for a spin. Luxury

Tony and Niels Witten have done a fantastic job on the restoration. In the end it is a new truck. New engine and front axle, gearbox and rear axle internals all replaced for new.

Niels took me out in her in Holland and it flew along, handled superbly.

Great stuff James!

And no headroom issues on the way home.

What ho, another border raid?!?

Just kidding, I'm sure the F8 found a good home at the Gosling collection. But I count on you taking it back to Holland for the Final Push next year!
