About a month ago Sheffield Roberts car 510 entered the workshop at Crich for a major refurbishment . The car has been lifted from its truck parts of which have been sent to outside contractors for work that Crich are not able to undertake themselves . The body is being prepared for a full repaint in the LAST TRAM WEEK livery it has carried since it travelled through the streets of Sheffield on the night of 8/10/60 . The repanelling and repainting of 510 is being financed up to a total of £33.000 by the The Tramcar Sponsorship Organisation .

Very good news indeed, must get my bent pennies polished up what 510 ran over on that sad night in 1960.
