I have just taken delivery of a 1955 Commer Duple coach (rare in itself with the 2 stroke Diesel engine and Wade supercharger!) that Geoff Lees used I think in his FF days. I know he sold it to Stephen South and he sold it to Nick Linney who sold it to Robert Parker. Robert tired if its pedestrian pace and parked it up in the late 80's where it remained until last week when it was delivered to me.

It now needs a full restoration but I am very keen to either get period photos of it in its glory days or better still some information of it before Geoff Lees had it. Did he convert it or was it a regular visitor to UK circuits in the 60's?

It's registration is 2036 AC and if someone can help me I will happily post some photos of its condition now!

Many thanks Simon Drabble
