The Romeo Listing - The Few Survivors
As is often the case with commercial & industrial vehicles, few Romeos have survived out of the 20,000 plus which were made.The following details have been acquired over the years during conversations & correspondence, but more information is always welcomed.
The initial Listing includes only the country, the owner's name can be displayed if the owner so wishes. Any owner's desire for anonymity will be fully respected, but please do still send in details for the records. The design of the website might limit the number of records which can be displayed in the current format, so the amount of information shown may be limited &/or the format may be changed when this limit is reached.
Details of others Romeos for inclusion here will be most welcome.
So here is the Listing, not that many but there has to be a start...
