Baggies1961 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Growing up I remember the Ford Anglia, Hillman Hunter, minx, Austin A30 and the like. Most had copious amounts of rust on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they separate pieces for the two outer that sit on the bogies? The ploughs have locating pins either side that go into the front of the Bogie frames as a one piece plough Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its alright Mr P I was having a bit of a 'leg pull' about the drivers name. Glad to hear you are enjoying the weather down there. We have been having something called 'sunshire'. Which threw me as normally here in the northwest we don't get that until July at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
