Rob's Dads collection

Post by PeterCat »

Just purchased a Traveller from 'Rob' in Manchester. I understood that the car was one his late father was working on. Rob later informed me that the traveller was one of 12 that his dad was working on!
It would be interesting to hear from any members who may have purchased one of Robs Dads stable !
The traveller needs loads of work ( but came with a set of new timbers which is a help!) Dad seems to have been keen on fitting mods as the car comes with alternator, a Metro carb, electronic ignition and a Ford 5 speed box. I will be interested to get any views on these mods.

Among Us I've always believed that a true Traveller should retain as much of its original configuration as possible. The Ford 5-speed gearbox and Metro carburetor make it easier to drive, but when it comes to long-term collecting, originality is what determines its value.
