V8 Ford Pilot. also there, was a Ferguson tractor (TE20 ?) A Ford model AA truck and a Thorneycroft Truck. Oh, the Pilot is a pickup truck. Sweeeet.

Title: Re: V8 Pilot Post by: Olds on April 10, 2015, 08:51:04 PM Yep. He's really into Thorneycroft vehicles and the history. I used to walk to school along the railway line that ran through the works. My mother worked there after the war. He is also restoring another tow tug made by Lansing Bagnall where I did my apprenticeship.
