Hello Tom and welcome to the forum.

Too add a picture to the discussion, below this window there's a separate pane with "filename" and just across from it a "browse" button. You'll need to find the actual image file on your computer and OK this to share it with the rest of us. That should work ok. :think: I do hope this helps.

I myself have never seen a JCB 808 and have been led to believe they were quite a rare machine. I do believe by around 1978, it had been removed from the product line completely with only the 805BT, 806C and 807C remaining. It'd be great if someone was to buy the 808. Have you tried selling it on?

Best regards

Gavin
Look out that window, Eden isn't burning. Its burnt.

That looks remarkably straight apart from the colour.

The JCB 8C in the sixth picture has a Detroit V6 or V8 shoehorned into it :shock: bet that sounds nice on full revs. :thumbup:
