Took a ride out to Nayland today to take a look at an old Austin coach that is under restoration. Very pleasant 80 mile round trip through the back lanes of Essex/Suffolk via Castle Hedingham Great Maplestead, Pebmarsh and Bures. The EC went well.

The coach will be when restoration completed will look like this. Its a 1950 Austin CXB (derivative of K4 lorry chassis) with Mann Egerton 31 set body
