hi trev rich and myself are going taking the rootes sign written pa first time out since the nec in 2008 i think having to go on a trailer tho also the big brown pa camper with the humber hawk engine and the hunter shaped vogue all come and say hello

well beaulieu is a shadow of what it was whatever you read in the classic press is wrong rootes/commer nothing apart from what we and one other stallholder had big gaps with no stalls online and ebay have killed it bacon baguette £9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anybody going? first time ever weve got a stall in fact 3!!!!!!!!!! red field stall name is crap chrysler.rootes and peugeot pop by and say hello rich and myself on the stall

its the wings inner and outer and bonnet that are the hard ones floors and doors you can get away with as they are generally flat door cill /step is always bad. where the bulkhead on both sides meets the inner wing is iffy once you are ready we can send some piccies of ours so you can compare...

hi your values are about right dont know where you are but mathewsons seem to get decent prices for classic commercials restoration of a bf is a long complicated job mechanicals are easy body bits no chance good luck a few piccies would be nice

blimey gonna buy ours back from phil and readvertise it for about £120,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be lucky to see £3k for it
