Always a pleasure to see an F12 on this site (or any other F-series!).

Hi everyone
after a 9 month rebuild on the rolls b80 engine i am pleased to say the old girl is on the road again.This was only possible with the help from 2 great friends Brett Clayton and Melvin Watson thanks lads.

Looking good Nigel...Looks like some more modern mirrors have been fitted but they dont seem to look out of place, our F7 has terrible small mirrors which makes driving and particularly reversing difficult.

Have a look at the mirrors on the F7 (No: 2987) they might be original but they are terrible for reversing.....and when driving on the motorway in the rain....its a good job I dont drive fast enough yo have to pull out to overtake!!! Stick to your bigger ones they look good painted red
