Mr Godfrey has a similar nearside duelling scar.
All the right bits, but not necessarily in the right order.

Dexter was a farm vehicle and has many battle scars from duelling with gate posts etc..When I first picked him up from Gloucester his chassis rails were covered by a very thick layer of straw and cow ****. So thick the previous MOT tester hadn't noticed the holes through the chassis and the fact that the rear hub seals had gone on both sides. cb1

Uncanny, Mt G is from the same neck of the woods and the chassis is full of sh*te.

He's a very early 2a 1961, pretty much the same spec although he's got a 2.5 petrol engine form a 90 instead of the diesel he started off with.

Just for the record, Mrs Armitage is a 2a Ambulance.
