Default Bedford QL 6 Pounder portee

Hi Johnathan
I have a complete 6 Pounder which you are welcome to come and have a look at/take measurements/photos/etc.
I'm just outside Swindon down the M4 so not too far away from you hopefully.
If it would help just let me know.
Good luck with the conversion
Rob

The Shopland collection also has Portee in their collection, albeit on an Austin K5

Rob,

That would be a fantastic opportunity thanks. I am making plans to come down that way in the near future so I will let you know when and I hope that can meet.

I am aware of the Shopland's collection portee and I am going to see if I can gain access to get some detailed pictures but thanks for the reminder.

Jon

No Hanno, I hadn't seen that thread, I see that Mary is pictured in it, I don't know if it actually this Mary but this one appears to have unfortunately disappeared. I would really have liked to find her and get some measurements of the cab alterations.

Thanks for bringing the thread to my attention.

Regards,

Jon
