Believe it, seems a bit cheap actually for a large truck, of course in 1944
it would have been free.
The worst is local to me being Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight, some 7 miles
with a smallish hatchback costing some $80 US equivalent, go over this
length/height dimension and the price rises exponentially, I salute and
appreciate the active IoW MV crowd who always bring big trucks over for our
local Overlord show (about 1/4 Beltring) and then do it all again for
Beltring.
