Dave Boxall shared a picture of my F15A. This is the oldest picture of my truck that I know of.

Lovely to find out a bit more of the history of your F15A, Hanno.

It does look good with those Track grips..... :thup:

Thanks Alex, yes Trak Grips look nice although these seem to be a little skinny.

I've looked up what history I have on it. In 1984 it must have still been owned by a Mr. Sidney Bolton. He reportedly bought the truck off a farmer in the 1960s, who in turn had bought it at a Ruddington auction in 1949. Mr Bolton had tidied it up to use and sold the truck in 1989 to Alan Levell who first fully restored it - see pic below and read more here: http://www.mapleleafup.nl/cmpfordf15a/

Just found out that back in 1987 my truck was owned by IMPS member Danny Lester.

In the IMPS Vehicle Directory I see another familiar one, the F22 once owned by Brian Nunn is now with Lauren Child.
Tony Sudd’s F15A is now with Niels Vegger, I believe. And a Ford staff car now owned by Ian McCallum.
Here's hoping that LAAT is still around somewhere, too.

Hanno, it is nice that you have some of the history of your F15A and that the vehicle is still being well looked after.
