That is a simply superb photo
A wonderful vehicle in an evocative setting.

Well done :D

thanks for that you would laugh as i took that very quickly as i happened to have the camera with me
they guy who owns it has had it since he was 16 and now he must be mid thirties i assume,it was a complete basket case when he bought it apparently

I often go throguh one of our local villages and there is one parked behind a pub (cant remember the pubs name). It doesnt look like it has been moved for ages and not in as good nick as the one in the photo. I keep meaning to call in and ask what is being done with it....

Nostalgically Nice :)
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

Cracking picture Neal!
Such a nice looking motor and, as Richard said, in a great setting.
