  1. Once more a big thank you to John Wardle for taking the time to supply some info. I once asked for info on Daf t244 which he duly supplied. i used this to do drawings to build a recovery vehicle. This truck has has turned out to be a little worker and goes out earning and has indeed nearly paid for its self. Since then i have lost all my drawings (change of computer) but decided due to ill health to build a scale model of the truck. Original info from Mr Wardle has certainly saved me a lot of grief going out in terrible weather to day

    this is all nonsense and begs the questions

    why pay for an obsolete vehicle when the UK MoD is giving them to you for nothing?

    where do you get ammo for 76 and 30mm?

    I find it a little suspicious that numerous individuals and fresh 'charities' are begging for cash so they send overpriced obsolete vehicles to a country that has its own massive arms industry, can easily use captured kit (cause its the same as theirs) and has the big nations falling over themselves to give them the latest cutting edge weapons.

    some would call it profiteering.... 

    totally agree 100% propaganda

  3. i got involved with a guy  who was buying  polish motor cycles from the 70s with side cars on  he was painting these and distress them and selling them as WW11  my part in this was supply transport . I only found out when interview by police in a fraud case that involved a 2.5 ton gmc truck that was  transported by me 

     

  4. Basically the truck is as per cast from service.  Just rear cross member and rear overhang modified to enable better lifting cap. The recovery equipment was built from 2 new hydraulic winches the rest was made from steel and parts from past builds

    Impressive and such a useful tool, it seems to hold its own with the bigger units yet is much smaller.  Very handy for those awkward to get to jobs.

    Just out of interest, what are the specs ?  A tour would be nice 😎

  6. Bit of a heads up we recently got involved in moving a large number of old vehicles to an auctioneers in Goole. I did not go my self but one of the lads who went told me the above truck was in dirty but excellent condition. Let me know if any one needs more info

    Sorry for not responding,  my notifications stopped for some reason.  It is a fast attack vehicle, the 3 seater dune buggy from desert storm. There are no numbers on the frame or motor so I cant get it checked out. 

    well if you cant check it out neither can anyone any one else so if you want it it get it bought if not stop posting so as not to be getting other naive  people wetting their pants
