We got it from tavistock in Devon, 14 Hrs on the road what a day that was. She was there since 2004 But before that from around 1999 she was in leicestershire so it could be possible.

Main Chassis rails required some repairs
M.O.T man had highlighted the holes
Repairs were made to the rails from both sides where possible Now you see them
Now you don't
