Hello Mike .. its dave here .. I am the Dave who took you to see the IGL3 which you bought . I took you to see it first of all you came to my house I seem to remember , then we had lunch and then went to Ian Simpson's house and then on into Derbyshire to see the IGL3. I did see the IGL3 about ten years ago now when myself and John Crossley went to see Les Smith's IGL8 which he bought soon after. les Smith's IGL8 was the one from the yard at Baughurst. I do hope you did not have to sell your IGL3 because I can see the huge amount of work that had gone into it when we saw it on the farm. We did not meet you there but you gave John directions and I seem to remember we found it quite easily at the time.
How are you getting on, I think we last spoke about ten years ago now, my wife had a serious stroke a few years ago and that has seriously curtailed any trips to see far flung Crossleys but I have carried on restoring my coaches with the aid of a retired coachbuilder. One completely finished and one well on the way ... external frame completely rebuilt ..panels back on .. the next big job is the paintwork. Well hope to hear from you soon if you see this thread .....
