it was the first Mumford ever to hit the roads, but not the first to be built..

Did quite a few shows i believe, the prototype is a tax free chassis number and yet it wasn't regged till march 1974, two months after WCO..

I believe that WCO was the first "Mumford" converted Mumford..

Here's the prototype, even before she was finished (even still had a Crayford badge on)
You can see how early she is by the early front panel for a start, now gone unfortunatly..
