Cape Hill Leyland

On route to the church, the first outing in over 30 years for our cape hill leyland Cub with support from our Austin k4 and Karrier Gamecock, a nice line up covering the 30's 40's and 50's brought Wootton bassett hight street to a standstill. A proper Classic turnout!

Superb pic Chris well done on the restoration - brings back memories of our drive through London with you following the Big Six to Chelsea Barracks - have you any pics of that journey ???

This could indeed be a response at an incident from the 1950s. Apart from the absence of Cromwell helmeted firemen and the addition of those white ribbons, the only thing missing is a beefy old wooden wheeled escape ladder on the back of that Leyland!

You could argue that the Karrier belongs in position two, but there are tons of reasons why the TL could have got there before it...
