My 88"
Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2020 10:22 am
I'm not sure how many of you know about this, little 88" project I've had for a few years now.
1966, built for southern electricity, likely as a chargehand or wayleaves officers vehicle. Hard top with fully lined cab, roof rack and capstan winch.
It was built in the pre-1966 SEB green which is a sort of dark emerald green shade, but would have been quickly repainted in the later light green paint. Rear catflap and tailgate have been swapped for a side-opening door. Hard to say if this was an SEB fitment or not. The original colour is light green, considering the cost of catflaps etc it will stay for the forseeable. Plus I like that its a bit different from my 109".
Sadly I lost most of my photos of it from when I first saw it, so some of these are a bit later.
Heading back to mine earlier this year.
The chassis a richards. Repaired bulkhead coming soon.
I am in a need of a few bits that have gone awol.
Grille badge (Solihull, Warwickshire type)
Front bumper
88" petrol exhaust
