I was actually traveling overseas on the day (Jan 9th) so this post is a little belated and not as dramatic but I wanted to wish my Speedy a happy 50th birthday.

May we both look as good and run as well in the next 50 years (I am sure one of us will at least, haha).

Cheers,

Stephen

 

Very nice one!

 

Really love to get the same one from the 29th of November 68 )))

 

That's a beauty

 

.... and Happy Birthday!

 

Looking good for 50!

 

Looking great! Interesting that your transitional was made a good 10 months before my 145.012

 

The only problem is figuring out how to best that when you turn 60.

 

Yes, indeed. There was a thread "Transition to the Transitional" where we were looking at serial numbers and it seems that this was one of the earlier examples of the 145.022 with a number of 145.012's coming afterwards.
