Chris Hill came in earlier in the week with another where is this pic.

Wynns were doing a job for Hills of Botley!

So anyone know where this is?

Would reckon that would be on the old approach to the Bishopstoke Railway bridge from the West (Eastleigh) side

One of John Eatons fotos from the summer gathering.

Hi Gazzer, i,m thinking that as John drove for Elite for a while, the above pic was of their OOCL contract vehicles.

Horry…Re XVW51S, if you remember,when your Dad bought it, it was still in Pereco colours
and was driven by yours truly. Mickey Long had it after me.

I recall a certain trip to Barcelona in it when Brian Paling came with me for the ride.
I introduced Brian to the " Ramblas " and we had a really memorable time. :blush: :smiley:
