Interesting; the caption says built 1957 by FGE and the side of the car says "Mechanical Refrigeration", but it has got odd Murphy ends and a dirty great fishbelly underframe, which seems terribly dated for 1950s construction. A major rebuild perhaps? The ends look really strange - the top panel in one view looks to have inward facing corrugations while those on the lower two panel face out; look at the relative positions of the boards on the end and you'll see the upper board is some inches further in than the lower Aidrian -----Original Message-----
