I am idealy looking for a van which is still roughly in one piece but in need of complete timber restoration, although would consider anything from a rolling chassis upto completely restored. The earlier the better but will consider anything so long it it is Fowler and used to be towed by a ploughing engine !

Many thanks

Thanks - I have all the drawings and if I can't rescue one I will build one from scratch but it is nice to have all the original metal bits which of course saves loads of time ! I know of several rotting away which aren;t for sale or are at lottery number prices !
