Check and see if there is any mail hidden under the seat, or in the toolbox or even in the tank ?!

Good question...

There is an organisation for ex-GPO/RM vehicles and I'm sure a little Google time would discover it. Everything from push-bikes to small lorries so I'm guessing they could help you.

Try this link. Also you could try to find a character called Sgt. Woodie (Paul Wood) on facebook; he's an authority. Be careful, he bites. ;D

Is he still around? I had the impression he'd shuffled off.

I'm sure it would have filtered through if he had gone Ian. He's obviously getting on now. Jerry would know, if you've any way of getting in touch.
