hi thanks for the welcome,i afraid to say in my area at least very classic trucks of any marque have survived mainly because the centres of industry have tended to be located in the east of the country.so home grown classics are thin on the ground. my two pioneers came over with me when i moved over here in 96.the retriever really was a stroke of luck it just happened to be in a scrapyard about 40 miles away.although its service life was in the curragh camp.its a pity about the lack of suitable materiel round here ,because i have plenty of room to store it.where as in london it was costing me a fortune.:cry: oh well such is life mike

hi i am afraid i have not seen him since 1989,so i guess i am less wiser than you.such a blast from the past mike:cry::cry:
