  1. Anyone have any helpful information on these? I have Googled the make as you can see it on the step but not found much. I'm thinking or restoring it, I know a metal polishers and a leather specialist so that bit should be easy, just wondered if anyone has seen one before? It was going in a skip in Bradford! It's at least 50 years old I was told...looks cool as! Any help appreciated, thankyou. mms_20150305_135752.jpg

  3. have you got the slot in head rest ? does it pump up etc? Yes rescue it it will be worth quite a bit , nice find:thumbsup:
     
  4. Fitted in the back though! Looks more polite than with a transit tipper and a vest.

    Our local fen barbers still had seats like that up until 5 years ago. They also had a row of reclaimed cinema seats for the queue. And brillcream and johnnys. "Anything for the weekend sir?" They weren't trying to be trendy, they just had never bothered to change anything.

  13. Ye, cheers, it does look cool, no way it's getting skipped! Its mega heavy too! Maybe I could fit it in the back and do mobile hairdressing and shaves at some shows and festivals? I can stand up with the pop top up.
