Who to blame for the front fender shape, the builder, camera or Thunder?

Series 3 wreckers did not have front and rear trailer air connectors and many of these were originally painted in Colorado Tan and later repainted in field into British colors. Vehicles from Serial No. 422624 were fitted with reinforced front bumper with lugs and whiffle tree
This kit features optional front bumper with lugs and whiffle tree and also recovery an additional recovery equipment
