  1. Hi all . Can any one tell me how we stand legally using an observation turret on public highway . I'm specifically referring to the one on my 1943 pioneer but there all the same what ever vehicle it is. Are you allowed to stand out of an observation turret while moving on a public highway.?? thanks Neil
  2. I have 3 reasnoble 1400x20 tyres I've kept as spares but they are in my way to be honest . Open to offers .
  3. Hello all. does any one know if the canvas window flaps and radiator covers are reproduced by any one these days for the Scammell pioneer? Im not to fussed about the rad cover but it would be nice to get the window flaps
  4. Hi folks, can an any one give me any info on another pioneer I have , chassis number 5338 any info much appreciated . Neil
  5. I have a rough running Gardner 6lw, does anyone know that psi or bar the compression should be?
  6. Thanks for your efforts on this. the log book states built 1943 and going from the info I've received on here according to its chassis number its contract number S3164 Military number H 5545293. Neil.
  7. Just to go over the history of my scammell that I know. I brought it back from Belgium to the uk last year 2014. it came over with the reg number DEA768 on the vehicle and on its Belgium log book and chassis number 5343 which is present on the vehicle. From what I have been told by DVLA and others on here DEA768 was issued as a civilian reg number in West Bromwich uk 1948. So presumably after the war it came back home and was sold in to civvy street. The Belgium reg document it came over with states, ( registered 1984 Belgium ). I think this is when it last hanged hands before me. The years in between are un known to me at the present time. Neil
  8. Would I be right to assume from the response that this is not an original military marking and just something some one has put on years ago?
  9. Its been a good sunny day here in kent today so i decided to do some work on my scammell. I took the Kids with me down the yard to give them a bit of fresh air and a ball to keep them occupied. I had been replacing some of the wood on the boxes at the back when i herd an almighty bang as the ball the kids were kicking bashed the nearside door. after shouting some demanding words at them like, clear off! i got down and had a look to see if it had damaged any thing and noticed a small bit of blue paint and a black line showing on the door. the ball had chipped off a bit of paint on the door so i got out a plastic scraper and continued to chip off the old hard paint to reveal this. Has any one got any ideas on what it is? it uncovered a bit more of its history which i probably would not of found, My apologies Kids!!
  10. Thats fantastic , I wasn't very confident i would ever be able to find its military number thanks. unfortunately there is no rebuild plate present. is it posible to find out if it was given a post war registration and what it might be, or could it be DEA768. It just shows you there is a wealth of knowledge on here and all you have to do is ask. thanks again. Neil.
  11. I will have a look and let you know. Where abouts on the jib should it be?
  12. Hi yes thanks for your help. it's model is sv2s , registration certificate says year 1943 but this may be when it was first registered? and chassis no is 5343. Rgds Neil.
  13. Can any one tel me how I can find out my vehicles military number or even military registration number presuming it had one. its a 1934 scammell pioneer registration DEA 768, that's all I know. Any suggestions welcome. :laugh:
