This fine old six wheeler, which was bought for one pound in the 1960's, was restored by the Pyatt brothers, and completed earlier this year. The restoration took about five years, with finding tyres and making wheels being some of the problems the brothers had to overcome. The lorry made its first outing to Gaydon and was driven to Chelford and Onslow Park shows, and of course was one of the attractions at the Society's gathering last July.
