At long last my RS was delivered yesterday. It has been offered on eBay but didn't sell, so a deal was done, and after being messed around by several hauliers it finally made it home.
It it has been converted to a timber tractor, with jib and a garwood winch, chain driven off the transfer box. Sadly both the contract and chassis plates are missing, but there are some clues to a military past, layers of deep bronze green paint, a painted bridge plate on the cab, and fire extinguisher bracket on the drivers seat base. It has a civilian type cab, and a Perkins 6 cyl Diesel engine
The cab is really bad, so will probably be replaced, but the rest looks good.
Any hints, tips or clues on its history would be most welcome!
sorry the photos are upside down, sending this from my phone...
