My da had one in green. Big front bench seat and a column change. Like a spaceship to a little me.

I reckon it will take a hell of a crane cos its a bit of distance from anywhere they can site it.
Probably use a rail mounted crane for that situation.
The funny part about that is that its about quarter of a mile away from where Cowans Sheldon used to be. They used to make (among other types of cranes) rail mounted cranes.

I'm no expert on them but from the ones we've used at work I'd still think it needs to be a bit of a beast.

I'll try to keep an eye on the proceedings as I'd like to see the bogies getting lifted. Mind, I wasn't really supposed to be as close as I was today so it might not be so easy to get close enough to see whats happening.
