Rabs Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 As some of you know I have been working at this timber yard for several months now.. We had an amusing one today..ย A customer who wanted some planks of wood which were about 2.5m long... We were expecting a vanย ๐ย But check out what he came in instead. Its true to say.. They really don't make them like this any more. I like the use of the sunroof ๐ย Just thought I would share that ๐ย 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) That is an unexpected sight!! Ah well, it's probably because that particular plank hauler, the 1961 Bentley Saloon S2 (Continental Flying Spur) is comparatively rare.ย You can find five or six of them still working the lumber yards between Brighton and Belfast, but most of them have been retired from construction service.ย Shame of all shames, one or two of them have been seen actually transporting ladies and gentlemen to the theater, and so on to the homestead.ย Tut-tut.ย What a waste of good, solid, reliable service vehicles!๐ ย Edited January 22, 2020 by sparquelito 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I could have bought one of those 20 yrs ago for ยฃ600.ย It was a runner too. I didn't. Too expensive to repair and run.ย Comfy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what I have never noticed before....ย If you zoom in it says Assembly Point... Its either to do with what happens if there is ever a fire or its to do with the fact that the workshop holds lots of local classes with schools and various studenty type people...
