Did anyone get of follow up on this one? http://www.aulro.com/apc/showproduct...uct/6232/cat/4



BTW, I am compiling a photo register of the 1958 88" see the closed sticky above.

Having a picture registry is an excellent idea Diana.

Thanks Richard

Not a problem Richard

When we have some of the images why not display them. It has proved a bonus with Rusty Bulkhead's Gun Buggy thread.
Not sure about the wardrobe malfunction though!

Well I am happy to report that I am the proud re owner of my series 2. I plan to restore it back to the original specification. A big thank you to all of you who contacted me to let me know it was for sale. There will be series 3 parts available soon in the markets.
