It would be very difficult extracting it, I would think it would fall apart with any movement. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

I think you probably get a substantial amount of shed included...
Well, as it's over 40 years old, you won't need to worry about the MOT when you have "repaired" it...!
Seriously, is there even £50 worth of parts?
He doesn't mention about bringing a trailer, but then perhaps a skip and large dustpan might be more appropriate.

Can see much if anything being salvageable from the van!

Hi
What was the reasoning for the narrow track front end? There were a number of makers who did that.
Was it perhaps to simplify the steering, removing the need of an ackerman setup? _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

When you tow stuff with a tractor, plough etc if the rear attachment is not as wide as the broader track the attachment needs to be offset, the narrow front track seems to be more popular with old American tractors, but not modern? Think we need a farmer to advise!
