Post by: lee celtic on May 01, 2008, 22:27:49: I spotted 2 110's in a disused suger factory in cuba :D

Unfortunatly the steam train I was on was too far away for the picture I took to show them clearly all you can see is the white roofs :(

Post by: Boddle on May 02, 2008, 08:32:49: I seem to recall seeing a series 1 in the 633 squadron which would be interesting. There are probably other World War 2 films that if you look carefully you will see them.

Post by: Skibum346 on May 02, 2008, 10:32:15: Wife went for a trip to Wales and wandering around the floor of a reservior... (a very dry resevor... obviously!) in amongst some old buildings, she found what looked like the chassis of an old series motor.

She took a snap... which I must try and find... of the steering wheel resting in the mud with some part of the chassis.

Post by: freelanderpx54 on May 02, 2008, 23:06:15: There are quite a few Series vehicles used as props at Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens in Florida. The ex wife was complaining because I spent a lot of time looking at them with more affection than I did at her. The daft thing was that they were pretty much complete vehicles rather than a shell.

Post by: Disco Matt on May 03, 2008, 22:25:04: They're quite a common sight at the top of various European mountains (the sort where people go up to a restaurant via cable car). Well, how else would the chef get to work? :lol:

Post by: Bob696 on May 03, 2008, 22:25:26: There is an series on the side of "storm force 10" at drayton manor. painted up as RNLI I seem to recall.

Also saw a soft top series at the highest bit of the road over the Col d'Iseran in the alps. It was parked up behind the cafe. Middle of august and it was freezing cold.
