did a bit of google research this morning, managed to come up with vehicle 170 the last of that years run of home 24v 101, bronze green and in 29th april out 19th july 1977 and delivered to Farnborough.
Only time will tell and a lot of elbow grease.
I suppose the paint job was enough to stick the crap together to get it through customs?
I still haven't got the grin off of my face yet.
As I was unloading it this morning, an elderly fellow I worked with 20 years ago was walking past, He said He thought he recognized what I had, He recons the last year of service he did in the UK was the first year these were issued for service, he reckoned there was more space in these trucks for the officer, driver and operator plus kit! than the 109's, he even had enough room to stretch out and have a kip!
It amazes me how small this world really is!
