Doncaster Fire Engine- Leyland Cub 1935

I am the current owner and have nearly finished the complete restoration. I purchased the engine two years ago from the previous owner who lived in Doncaster. It had spent quite a few years untouched and need quite a lot of work doing to it. However I am now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.....

What a lovely job you've done- well done, Alan! I know how hard it is as I gave up on my 1949 American Lafrance (which I now regret!).

Yes, well done Alan. I remember the Cub in the Plant Works when it was allowed to deteriorate. Incidently, my brother-in-law served at Doncaster's old fire station on Grandstand Road, eventually becoming chief for the Cornwall Brigade.

A tribute to your efforts Alan. Well done. David, which 700 series ALF did you have?
