An Unusual Lister D
At the recent Scottish Lister D celebration rally which took place on 16th October, a Lister D with a difference made its rally debut. Gordon Muir of Aberdeen brought along his gleaming D type serial 1/19955 Spec 28DH. The engine drew a great deal of attention with Gordon’s usual high standard of restoration and the imposing spoked flywheel; however on closer inspection all was not as it seemed.

Scole Common Garden Crank-up 2016
I woke up at 5am on Saturday 22nd October 2016 to the sound of rain hammering at the bedroom window. My first thought was “great!” I had checked the forecast before going to bed and it was suggesting we would have a dry day, but just for a change the weather had other ideas! However, with the engines all loaded on the trailer from the night before, I was already committed, so I crawled out of bed, rubbed my eyes, and prepared myself for getting wet.
