Did my initial TL course partly on this old lady. She was getting on in 1968 when then owned by Birmingham Fire and Ambulance Service. Merryweather Mechanical and steady as a rock especially on those big jacks. There's a rear end photo of her in the yard of the Birmingham Training School circa 1966 which I took so long ago. Hope someone makes her 'like new' again. Incidentally a similar machine GXA95, ordered in Feb 1942 cost £1442!!!
