Hi all a couple of pictures of a caddies lorry that was for sale. I wonder how much it went for ? Tony
There must be an interesting history to this one, It started life as a right hand drive F88 (Chapman &Ball ? ) and is now a left hand drive F89 . The log book still has it as an F88. Guess it got restored next to an 89 at some point !
Hi Trev, the only new F89 that Russel and Gordon had from new I supplied from Hartshornes Walsall,…and she went on fire due to a poor radio installation on Red Hill bank on the A5 on delivery.
Back to Walsall, quick repair, then off to Caddies…and no problems…a lovely lorry!!
Cheerio for now.

Good pics Tony,nothing wrong with them.
Cheers Dave.
I remember that KV that Blowers had, I called there a couple of times as the old boy was restoring it. You couldn’t meet a nicer bloke, a real enthusiast if ever there was one.
