i'll sort of know what you mean... Only thing to do with a crayford icon like this is to keep it well maintained. i'm also bringing her back to 59spec as the previous resto used some repro parts etc which is not correct. I guess whenever i sell it again it's more likely to be going back to uk than to stay here. Hardly anyone knows about the crayford company over here...

Thanks for coming along, to those that did, a successful AGM all round i think, we had a few newer members turn up who came up with some good ideas, and everyone seems to have gone away happy having had a free look round the museum

, talking of which i must say i think it is a shame that Gaydon has chosen to forget pretty much all of the BL cars that most families in the 70`s used as daily transport, in favour of several examples of the same car...ie lots of Minors, MG`s, Rover P5`s & 6`s, but not one Marina, Maxi, or Allegro!!.. i think if they can squeeze 5 Minors in the museum they could make room for 1 Marina :roll: , still i suppose we shouldn`t be surprised eh!!, anyway we had a good day, and at last we have a new Secretary ....Becky Woolweber...well done Becks
