snowtracdave Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just been trying to find a pic of mine which has a very similar looking half track but blue & in the same sort of condition so don't think it can have been the same one . Will have another look in a minute see if I can find it . I'm guessing it was in one of Cheffins auctions as I used to go to most of them .

N.O.S. Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Looks like it was the fitter's truck - lucky chap! Renosteel are still in business - I'll phone them tomorrow see what I can find out. If it does survive I don't think there will be much of it left after that salt treatment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Barrell Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 McCleans (sp) of Cromer had quite a few back in the 70's. A friend of mine bought the last unmolested one, an M14 and restored it. ISTR they were painted blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Spoke to Renosteel - helpful guy here. They ran 4 of these for around 5 years, all painted red. Similar work to Macleans (the compnay Adrian mentioned) on sea defence repair work. Other than sides removed and slight cab modifications for driver safety they were pretty much original. Spares came from Budge. Their worst problem was frequent track failure, as once the rubber cracked the salt quickly corroded the cables. All were sold to collectors mid-90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
