Ok, so someone else found it in a barn and then I bought it from them but I'm claiming it anyway, first registered 21 Feb 1961, hes got a Fred Flintstone front floor and a few issues but we are absolutely chuffed with him

 

The barn

Loaded up for the journey home, cling film to keep him minty fresh

Looks nice with the others, where has the inspiration for the name come from?
