P100 were good , g&t had one when I did work experiance 

Yes.

 

At the time, 87ish, I used peugeot 504 pick ups. I preferred their better visibility but mostly for the limited slip differential.

Freddie Gear and his dad were converting ex army matadors for timber work over by Ripley, I think I worked alongside three of them. Cawley sawmill's purple one, Dalrymples black one, Ted Bakers and the last one was Huggy's about 1990.  

 

Freddie had the yard next to Ken Tyrell's racing team, incredible what he could do with only one arm.

I think Richard Court had the Dalrymple one, he certainly was renovating a matador in his yard 15 or so years ago.
