Ford blitz ambo project

Well remembered Tony! My first Ford ride was indeed in a F60S tipper. I have the spare wheel and also a spare NOS radiator from that vehicle, purchased from Warwick a couple of years ago. I had to pick them up from Strabane Avenue.

Here's the F60S:

And the Sigvan - as we set out for Mitcham with Tony in the background...

And here's no ordinary picture, it is the first of thousands of CMP images I have taken since 1970. It is one of two Cab 12 F60Ls at that mill.

This was a very rare thing - colour reversal film was so expensive I hardly ever had any, but I remember buying a roll of Agfachrome for the special event.

You can see an excited Tony on his bike as he arrived from work at Harry's Shell garage. I waited quite a while for this pic.

Taken around the time Tony got his first blitz I think, maybe even on the same roll of film.

Too right, Robert!

Here's another memory for Tony:

Yes as I mentioned at the start there may not be much general interest in 40 year old resto projects. It does seem to have degenerated into private reminisces between the only two people actually there at the time!
