Geoff Endacott Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Having seen two of these go past this morning, they actually look quite small. I wonder if this is due to the black part of the livery going part of the way down the side. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2014 Finally saw my first real Colas 70 - two were stabled in Bescot, visible from the M6, whilst I was returning from the BRM Ally Pally show. Too dark and too fast to get a phot though..... Gen lists report them as 70802/803. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
