Jack Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Any chance of some original numbers under the paint?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 The radiator is missing or I am sure he would have done. I notice the nice wheels and tires. So its a wheels up retoration then:-D Mike Hi Mike, I believe the wheels are M38 but I'm not sure, The previous owner put new wheel rims and tyres on her not long after purchasing it, I think because the original tyres were totally ruined. I will be looking for the correct one piece rims, but the tyres should do ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 cor that trailer looks even better from that side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) She was discovered earlier this year, and apparently was literally hours away from being scrapped! Thankfully she was rescued by the chap I bought her from, and since Thursday of last week has been safely indoors for the first time in years.
