It's a F20

I remember a dealer demo at Nostell Priory (circa 1977/78 ) & having a ride in one.

It's still the harshest riding vehicle I've ever been in

its not far from where you recovered me from.

the white walls look like standard road tyres so dont know how well it will plough in deep snow.

The first time I saw one of them was on a proper Rally. It was running at the back in a Class of it's own.

My mate had one and it was great, must have been 10 years ago. Cost him £50 even had an MOT, well a valid certificate at least :D

It got hit by a reversing crane and the top just bent right over, he left it on the drive for about 3 months but it never recovered  :cry:
