Cheers Joe, love the Seagrave, I may even be able to point the owners in the right direction for the spare bits they need.

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on a memory stick somewhere!

Glad you like, wasn't sure if you may have seen this before or not?

I had to look again on the paper to know which part he meant. I spoke with the owner and he was saying that he had managed to get the 'magneto' to make all the cylinders work again. He was pleased as punch I could tell. More power and a smoother ride I'll guess. It was in really good nick too (no pun intended) :thumbsupup:

It was a sort of hidden jewel amongst a load of artic tractor units.... :grin:

Love the wrecking stuff Joe, especially the Thames Trader, now there's an idea for either the Bedford or The Opel Blitz.

Sorry I missed you Ron. I went early on the Sunday which was great for me as i took loads of photos without too many people around. There didn't seem many in the model section when I went through. Was there more on the Monday?
