Syncro poptop in camouflage in West Cornwall???

Post by PetenAli »

This morning at about 8.45 I saw a T3 driving from Pool towards Four Lanes just outside the Countryman pub. It was painted in camouflage with, I think, a white poptop. I was going in the opposite direction so only glimpsed it. It had the higher stance of a Syncro and a rear mounted spare tyre. I couldn't see if it had Syncro markings. Is this another Syncro in the area or just a lookalike :?: :?:

Sounds like it could be Andy `Fatsurfer` who lives in Newquay, but works Falmouth way. 16" syncro in cammo paint with white poptop with original wheels.

Hi there. Give us a shout sometime if you are passing. We live just round the corner from where I spotted you.

Like you say - it may not be the best for commuting but its getting driven and leaving them parked up doesn't do them any good methinks.
