What a rig. I love it.
Well done sarge, Nice pic as well.
She would be worth a pretty penny these days I bet.
How did she handle the sand pit buddy & the gutter crossings..???

Wasn't that the only colour discovered by that stage?? ... I mean, the dinosaurs had only just died out and we were still living in caves .... weren't we?? ... I never did pay much attention in ancient history class!! ...

Oh, the jokes could roll out for hours!! lol

Funny thing is, I was a born early 70's and my gran had a very similar one that my cousins and I used to ride down the side yard - it was tonnes of fun!! But must admit, didn't slop the yard up first to see how it went in the wet - I obviously had no ticker back then!! lol ...
