York Rescue

[martin maltas]

After years of people trying, the owner of the Commer York on the IOW, has decided to let it go. Alan Kirtley (Beachboy) has managed to secure a deal and it will shortly be heading to Norfolk.
This is the only known survivor of this rare model and needs to be saved. I saw it approx 5 years ago and it was rough then, so will be a huge project.

That's excellent news, well done Alan Hopefully there'll be some progress pics on here soon.

I think it may be a while before progress is made, but at least it will now be saved.

So is this is the same one in bits and for sale at £500 on EBay. It doesn’t actually look all that bad bar the front panel. Trouble is people don’t really like buying stuff already taken apart - that’s the fun bit
Really hope this gets saved

The rear bed looks to be in very good condition.
