Hi All, (my first post!)
I recently acquired this rail (see pics) thinking it was a Chenowth, Dave @ Kingfisher Kustoms doesnt think it is (he should know he was the UK importer for years).
I know its not a Fugative, but I cant work out what its is, anyone got any ideas?
Link to photos
The photos references are from 2 weeks ago when I got it. It was a mess, its now stripped to the frame, rebuilt brakes, repainted & ready for rebuilding :) Working on rails is sooo much easier that normal cars!
Thanks for your help
Malcolm

| It looks a lot like the Chenowth I had 20 years ago. |
