My father used to have a saw bench just like that!! I remember one
day when I was about 10 years old, my Mum starting it up and cutting some wood for the log fire  |

Derelict? Looks like it but the sign on the wall implies a resoration specialist maybe. |

Crazy thing is because of the VW badge all of those vans will now be worth

They might fetch that much. But "worth it?" I most certainly don't think so.

That Trojan must be very rare. I don't think I have ever seen that model.
Any idea if it has the 2 stroke "L" engine?
Jim.

Ive no idea on the engine TBH...I did make the Trojan Miseum trust aware of it a while back, and they said it was very rare (Whatever it actually is  )
I presumed it would have a Perkins, but no idea really. Im sure it will be scrapped or sold eventually as its been parked up and no storage £ paid. 200ft from my workshop door
