A few days later it got nicked from their groundΒ πΒ Both finalists got vans, at one time we had a C reg and an F reg mini bus. I once wrote to the club to ask if i could lend one to take family to a Christening up North, actually I'm still waiting of an answer on that. Bet Phil Neil never even asked.

Oh i don't remember that bit, I'm not really a van expert but we deffo had 2 . Wide bodied twin wheel version possible 400 series (i'm not an expert) however, this version was the better looking and was in production in one guise or another for about 25 years. Drivers seat was hardly adjustable at all and very uncomfortable to drive , Army bomb disposal teams had some of these with V8 petrol engines in the early 90s they would have been very rare and probably none still exist, so got me thinking, some geek will know what ever happened to our Freight Rover vans, and will even be know the reg Nos and can maybe trace their history???

jayjayoghani Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If I remember right Chelsea v City finished 5-4. City were 5-1 down until very late and nearly pulled off the comeback.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
