  Semi-Diesel Register

Return to Semi-Diesel

I have started a Register of Engines and their owners with the aim of
sharing information, spares and possibly enable the production of batches
of unobtainable parts. I would welcome information, ideas or comments.
Personal Information will be kept Strictly Confidential unless Permission
 is given to display the information.
