    Never owned one, but worked on them as a kid with the guy across the road that was a mechanic, always loved them and they make me smile.

    Saw one at a show recently and took a few pics. Bedford CA Romany.

    Sorry for the poor pics, but it was extremely sunny.

    And as for that toothless hand job Nobby Stiles, I remember he kneed King Osgood just in front of the shed, we wanted to kill him,

    Everyone knew a family who had 11 kids and smelt of *******, they wore national health glasses with a plaster over one lens, well our said family were called the Didds, Ronald Didd was in my class, and I took Julie Didd to the pictures and got an over the jumper in the finger stalls, anyway their old man Ron had a Romany which he used for work, and it was Marmite

    You can't have one of them and a Landmark, that's just weird, like a split personality :confused:

  19. We had one when i was i kid . Ex gas van if the family history is as i remember .... o_O

    Most vivid memory is driving to Scarborough for a family day out from Leeds and having 3 tries to get up Whitwell hill , eventually summiting at an absolute crawl - it was crap but fun ... :thumbsup:

    Mate restored one recently and and after a month of driving around absolutely hated it but decided to squeeeeeze in an MGB engine and `box . Goes well !!

    :hattip:
