Hopefully the current owner is a lot older than you!

Ironic thing is my dad said it was a heap of scrap when they sold it off the farm… how times change

My first drive was a Super Dexta with a Lambourn cab. Missed the chance of that one when the boss died.

Had a spare hour today. Everything came apart very nicely. More of a faff to fit than I expected though. The oval fixings holes in the wings need opening up another 10mm to allow for the roll bar. Need the bolts to be 10mm longer, and will have to find a way to reboot to the footplates as wings will be higher and wider by 10mm approx.
Oh, and the bloody handbrake ratchet is going to need some sort of fabrication to make the bugger fit back on. Sigh.
