Che bell'auto Planko!
I've always thoroughly enjoyed the sound of the 'E' Type.
'BDBR'
BDBR was delivered to Mann's in '75 and then sold to William Monks (builders merchants) of Sheffield (for whom Geoffers delivered G-WIZZ from Frosinone). Monks then sold her to PLM in '77 and she stayed with them until 1986 when she was sold to Westwood Engineering of Plymouth.
Just after PLM sold BDBR, they took delivery of one of their first Ecureuils .. G-NIAL which was already a 'Highlands Squirrel' in that she was bought by Timothy Laing of Perthshire (in 1984) who then sold her to PLM in 1987.

Bravo TRC. I must say that it would be good if we could get a copy of the clipping .. you know, for posterity and all that! Plus .. we are keen to see a youthful TRC, lol!
We've showcased this little snap (below) before but, it befits the page:
The 'great' Mike Smith with 'someone' alongside G-AZEJ during her time on contract to Metpol. Most likely taken at Denham c. 1972
