New resto project 25 FD/FL/FG 14 Chassis 2420

Post by Farmer Neil » Wed May 31, 2023 11:12 am

Hi all,

Just bought this old girl with the eventual view of restoration.

Can't quite read the registration but I'd be grateful if anyone has the wherewithal to ascertain it's history. Think it once had a bowser in it as has little hole in back.

I'll read everything there is to know but if any of you have any advice i'd be most grateful.

I've got to finish my Caterham renovation first but hopefully will start the Sankey later this year.

Cheers in advance.

Best Neil

Hiya Bob! :D ,

I hope the operation wasn't anything serious and that the good lady is well.

Not serious mate, left hand carpel tunnel op on Tuesday, so one handed at the moment and painful.

Good to hear it's nothing serious, and to be fair, she does only need the one hand to make you a brew. :P xy
