I beleave so....Not really looked at the donk yet.....nice big straight six setup with 2 off 3 pot heads

Its just come back from the paint shop and looks stunning....needs the interior doing next and the engine is being sorted ready for re-fit (it runs).

Dynamo needs to be good as its an absolute GIT to get at once fitted!

Oh aye butt - you're not kidding mate!

We still had a sizeable number of the later PD2 model in service when I was an apprentice.

These were actually PD2As with the 'St Helens' glass-fibre fronts, and the later 0.600 9.8 litre engines. Guess who got given the task of doing all the engine-bay jobbies?
 :-[

Much preferred the AEC Regent Vs that we ran - much easier to get at things generally.

What did you marinate it in? Reminds me of Hugh Fearlney Whittingstall cooking fish on his Landrover manifold,
   Place (not plaice) fish in tin foil add oil, lemon juice, seasoning & whatever herbs & cook @ 30 mph for 45 mins!!!! :D  Priceless!!
