The Burrell "So Be It" is owned by a gentleman from Nottingham and one of the last ones or something like that to come out of Thetford.
It used to have Aveling front wheels on it, but now has Burrell ones. hence the different colour.

Matt

Does anyone have a contact address for Jeff Lamb they could PM - he has been to our show previously, but my 'unique' filing system has failed me (again).
