FordsonRules Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello Andy , Thanks to you and all for your welcoming messages ......... I purchased the truck in late september 2014 from a lovely family down in sussex ,It was found in Southern France a few years prior to there ownership and returned to old Blighty for restoration ,or so I am told .It appears to have served a working life after it's active service gaining a fixed cab with a roof and full doors .I have some pictures of which I shall include shortly ,but I have now totally stripped for restoration after getting it running and driving ........what a machine .Which brings me to asking for some help regarding knowledge , I have uncovered it's original factory green paint but am struggling to match it ,closest I have got to it is "Bronze Green" ? Was there a standard Green ? ,Plus I'd love to get in touch with someone who could help me research it's Z number and first contract details ,and dating the old beast ........Thanks for your time in advance ha ha Regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
