are we sure it's an F13? was it the F15 which says it on, and the F13 which doesn't, or the other way round?

northampton still, but in a nicer area, and a bigger house...... really like it to be honest, old place way a tiny little box of a place, as im sure you will agree!
mrs broster prefers it too, but im banned from using the house to store engine parts in the cranks not allowed on the mantal piece!
