Vehicle & Technical > Defender
Not Strictly Speaking.....
Bush Tucker Man:
I was in Wakefield this morning & heading out towards the Huddersfield Road (A642)
As I got to the end of Ings Road* on Westgate, I saw a familiar shape in the PC World car-park, however the sliding windows made me look twice, as did the Limestone door-tops.
So a quick trip around the one way at that end of the city & into the car-park**
It was indeed an early vehicle. Strictly speaking it is a One-Ten, not a 110, let alone a Defender.
Apart from the A-bar, wing-tops, rubber radio aeriel & Discovery rims it could have been made last week. such was the condition (on a brief look)
Sadly no-one came to it whilst I was there, so couldn't ask anything about it. I'll keep the peepers peeled for it again
EHP 445Y
*Ings Road, by the way, was one of the first purpose built by-passes in the country. It cut along the Ings (marshy ground) avoiding the busy town & cut between the Denby-Dale turn-pike & the West Gate, which gave access to routes to Dewsbury, Halifax & Huddersfield.
**Exiting the car-park neccessitated another trip around the one-way. The things I do for you lot!!! :lol: :wink:
