Wombat is extracted from the car graveyard. Lucky escape for this lovely Series 1!! There is a Series 2, 2 x Disco 1's, 1 x P38 and a few others still down there...
Here's Wombat home safe. It will only be for a short stop over tho, as Wifetec is already eyeing him up!! "I do like the front on these" was her first words.. I reminded her that the half restored Tdi Series 2 has the same front. That's diverted that for a little while!! :D
I'm aware of the SAS detachment you've got preparing defensive positions. Be warned, I've got a Commando unit ready to liberate her :twisted:Quote:

Hi Crackers. Sorry I didn't get down today.. The overnight ear turned into a weekender.. Good food, great company and location, 200 acres of scrub, 2 quads and 2 bikes.. Couldn't come home!!
But, I did have a quick look over Wombat this avo. Here is a better pic of the chassis plate...
Which leads me to the next pic.. This is written on the front right wing of Wombat. The name and location ties in with the pic that was posted of the hand written sales diary which has the name Ginn.. There's some history to be found here me thinks.....
Righto mate. Any chance of next weekend? (rats, no 'begging' smilie)
Aiming for fri avo or sun all being well.

So. We now know who she is and who she was sold to.
That second number on the sales docket would be what? The engine number? If so, it appears to be 170600556. Does anyone know how to interpret this?
CalVIN imagines that this vehicle was sold with a diesel engine, but although the 109 chassis was introduced in 1956, the diesel wasn't introduced till the next year. We do know it's currently got a 2 1/4 petrol motor which wasn't introduced for nearly another decade.
Ahhh, the fun of the chase.
