Hi Martyn & fellow enthusiasts

I purchased her locally kent / sussex borders but originally she did come from southampton area I have the company keyring so i checked the company and they still exist down in Hants, i am hoping to get her in primer and re-paint her in the original light yellow, the cab is in pretty good nick i have done a bit of work on it, but it is kept outside. Some of the lights still work and 4 of the 5 guages still work, I got her with a spare leyland 4-98 engine too ! once i have painted her i may be tempted to sell then i can maybe get a 3c III or a MF40 i just love the 60's 70's & 80s machines there were just so many different shapes sizes and colours.
