marty56011 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi I'm Martin from east Yorkshire, found the forum while researching info for my new challenge. I've laid my hands on a 1952 Leyland Martian and having never done anything on this scale before I'm hoping some people may share there wisdom. I'm not a complete novice, I have restored a few cars but this is a whole new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I always class a 'Practical Classic' as can you get it into a Tesco car park and put the shopping in. In your case.... you could get that into Tesco's. :-D Add a whole new dimension to scan and shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
