Afternoon, Has anyone got an engine in any condition to go in a Canadian C15 CMP? Kind Regards Lawrence

Hi guys, we are restoring our 1944 scammell mechanical horse which require these 10.50-13 tyres. Don't suppose anyone has any or know of a couple knocking around in good condition?

Its a MH6.

That is something we are considering, the local traffic are not friends with us at the moment!

It spent 3 years sat in our workshop before we started it really but lockdown gave us a chance to get stuck in, we've spent about 5 months restoring that and a jeep side by side at the same time. I'll start new thread at some point with some pictures.

We have just finished the restoration of our 1944 Hippo. We have had to repair or make new parts for it as parts can be hard to get hold of.

I'm looking to purchase a ww2 british staff car. Ideally something that doesn't need much if any work. Kind Regards Lawrence

Good Morning all, We have purchased a 1944 Scammell Mechanical Horse. Does anyone have or know of any trailers available for us to purchase? Kind Regards Lawrence

Still on the look out! Unfortunately the ones suggested above have been sold. It is for an AEC Renown which would have had an AV590 but any of the requested variants will also fit. Kind Regards Lawrence

I have sent you a PM.

WANTED - AEC AV590 or AV690/691 or AV760 Looking for a previously running engine with all of ancillaries. Kind Regards Lawrence

Good morning all, I need someone to move a truck from Burnham - on - Crouch to Kidderminster? Anybody able to help out? Kind regards Lawrence

Dear all, We need a replacement set of brake pipes for our Leyland Hippo. We have been down to our local hydraulic specialist and they cannot find what threads are on the ends. From the hydraulic company; "Righto so the steel pipe from brake servo to rear axles has split and corroded so it will need to be replaced from front to rear. Unfortunately the flexible hoses between chassis and axle have also gone but they cant work out what the thread is. The flexi then goes from the T piece by the diff. Then copper pipes goes from that to the brake cylinders. Also these copper pipes are crushed and 2 have splits in it them." Anyone got any help on this one?

Afternoon all, We are looking for a canvas for our Leyland Hippo, now we've never had one since coming into our ownership and I'm struggling to find anyone out there who will provide a new one for us! Any Suggestions? Regards

Afternoon all, We are currently looking for a smaller ww2 period vehicle as our Leyland Hippo is a little large to just pop out in for the afternoon, so we are looking for something along the lines of a Bedford MW, Dodge weapons carrier or something similar. We've been keeping an eye out on the usual sites but there hasn't been anything that has taken our fancy. Condition wise, anything from rally ready to something that needs work. Kind Regards Lawrence

Looking for some assistance and recommendations. The clutch on our MK2 Hippo needs attention. Does anybody 1) Have a spare clutch they are willing to part with OR 2) Recommend somewhere to get it overhauled? Kind Regards Lawrence

We have the original set of wheels now being delivered so that's all good! Still need the paint codes though if someone has them! Regards Lawrence Leyland Hippo VSU334

We have finally taken delivery of our Leyland Hippo. Luckily for us, it doesn't require a lot of work to get it back on the road and in anticipation we want get the stock of paint together. Additionally, the rear wheels on ours is completely different to any other I've seen. Was this normal and okay or do we (at some stage) need to find a replacement set? I have included a photo of ours (just after delivery) and the paint scheme that we want to paint it in. Can someone share what the codes are please. Kind Regards Lawrence

We have been let down by our previous haulier and need to get our 1940's Leyland Hippo MK2 home. Transport required from DN14 7XL to DY13 9QB ASAP. Kind Regards Lawrence

We have another complete set of hubs and tyres which are the correct spec for having double wheels on the rear axle which came with the vehicle.
