Hi
The pictures in this link, with all Lens stuff in, is exactly as it sits in my yard now, even with the anadin …
Will,
The Volvo was blue when Len bought her and had those Alcoa wheels fitted to her, he ran her for a while as a 4 x 2 but after a trip to Holland with that Fowler engine on board decided to fit that tag on her.
Waiting for another phone call back to see if I can gather anymore info for you,
Cheer’s Pete
