The two chaps who own it are from Guildford and brought it up on a low loader.
It is a runner though.
I was talking to the men in the canteen and they were amazed at house prices up north, they told me that even a half decent house down Guildford would cost twice as much as really good detached house in a good area up here.
Leave em to it say.

After a bit of research I came up with the following, just for you Dave.
"Having read in various threads of the re-emergence of vehicles released from Ireland in the early 1960s ( Lancia and Rolls-Royce) another has been recently bought by a West Midlands collector.
Arriving here from Ireland in about 1962 it has rarely been seen in public since. Registered YI 6249 it was new in 1927 and fitted with the standard workshop body of WW1 period. It is assumed that at the time there were many of these bodies surplus and probably in 'as new' condition. A very similar body is on show at Duxford."
