- Leyland TD5 1639 was 79 years young yesterday and nearly past me by.
- Great milestone for any vehicle to survive this long.
- Especially for something that had been kept outside to the elements for 95% of her life.
- The big one next year.

- Norman Julian
- I'm thinking about it!.
- I have all the seats and cushions.
- Just have to do a head gaskit replacement and she is a goer.
