Thanks Andrew , I have a Early 50`s Commer Bantam that has the same cab as the Qx series which were made from 48 to early 60`s and i need a replacement cab or one that can supply a decent lower half for the rebuild .

Depends on which one you are chasing
The restoration cost on the C8 i am working on might scare most people

I suppose I can't talk! If another FGT were to come across my path I think I'd be obliged to have it too.
The C8 (or its sister the F8) is a particularly interesting version - I'd love to have of of either variety too. Come to think of it, why not one of both, particularly the lovely British bodied passenger version.
