Are either of them having their history contested though due to reshelling by the works team ? Would love either (or both) of them but my numbers didn't come up last night either ... |

I would love to see GRX 555D bought by the Heritage Motor Centre and displayed with 33 EJB, AJB 44B and LBL 6D. |

I'm glad it still exists - I've wondered about it from time to time looks like an easy rebuild though - would be great to see it in with the other 3. It was hard not to get teary when I saw them |
