I restored a 1919 Austin for them about 10 years ago and have helped out on the other restorations on the living van, traction engine and currently chaff cutter. A local farmer friend has a good farm collection and is regularly up your way looking in hedges for what's left behind, good luck with the toys Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
