Lumpy

when I get round to it I will post some images of the Aquatrack on her first ever launch into the Hamble.

I thought the first one services St Michaels Mount in Cornwall, the Mk2 is now blue and a few pix on here, and 2 went to the Phillipines, did GKN build one too? I would be interested in the one in the salvage yard if there is any information?

some more. I must scan my 8 by 10s there are some interesting wagons in there.

oh yes, we tried to make it as characterful as the original, unfortunately we messed up on the panel gaps and had them consistent I do remember we initially forgot about the fitting of the fuel sender unit and had to modify the chassis. The chassis was box section and done on a jig using a 110 chassis for all the pick up points. So this again would have been different from the base vehicle as all the chassis would have been the same too.

I wonder what happened to this?

Jeez, I think the plate was fitted there, sometimes in the drivers seat box. Was an anodised plate with number stamped on them, sometimes badly. Really old ones had cast plates and then stamped up. I think they had the SG number, the engine and chassis, and if more than one on a contract a slash for number, like SG119/8. SG119 and 121 were Perkins 180Ti They are the IEDD wagons. SG109 and 096 were the demo and fwd control ones. The white bonneted ones for AWE were the only RWD only ones that were made, 4 in total, these had an uprated engine I remember and the preselect gearbox. I wish I still had the record book that had all the chassis numbers and engine numbers etc. All recorded, weighed before and after build, memory often plays tricks now :shocked: what colours are the ones you have? Do they have the vacuum formed plastic panels in the rear?

Based on a land rover 110. Chassis made by gwl. Fibre glass panels by johbn Walter construction. Running gear LR 110. Was Hornet 2. Had an interesting roof feature. It came off after a while as it was bonded on under stress.

JUST A SELECTION OF IMAGES FROM MY RECORDS Someone may find some interesting.

I have replied on that one.

hmmmmm, it may be one of the 4 rwd perimeter control vehicles build for AWE. Beautiful machine. Over £125 000 new.

a bit late but............

parked in a quiet residential area reportedly after picking some kids up from school, alledgedly.

mountney steering wheel and damn uncomfortable to drive manually.
