So whats the story behind this then i hear you ask, well Mr Dan Stacey has a big part to play in this He spotted this yellow regal saloon on one of the facebook pages, for sale as spares or repair, the guy who had it was also restoring a supervan and used the chassis off this one as it was better than his van one and the rest of the bits are still on it, so its a massive parts shop for me and my van, the regal was located in Gloucester so around 3 hours from me in Essex, so last night me and Dan went on another epic roadtrip to go and get it ...

Your more than welcome matey, any time. I think I should start up a recovery business, you'd be my most regular customer
What better way to spend a friday night, getting home in the early hours of saturday? Down the pub??..... no, driving 350 miles with a trailer to collect a knackered old 3 wheeler and towing it back to essex
Sell it Or Sorn it
