This totem was painted on to the roof of the Scammell, 3 years ago with an oil based paint, during that time the red paint had eroded away, not much of a testament to modern paint composition.
As it was a fine day, it did not take much to repaint the totem, only this time it will have a couple of coats of varnish applied over the top.Heritage restoration work by the Restoration and Archiving Trust, based at Toddington, Gloucestershire.
