As I said will clean it up & get pipster to take some more pics. cheers ;D Fred Title: Re: ID please Post by: zorro on May 14, 2010, 06:12:03 PM another great find Phil, you are really mounting them up now mate. placed it in the database and so far its the only foreign of that era we have ....well done again.
