  1. Just wondering Paul, what did the army use for a key for the back door lock, its about 1/2 inch looks like a stopcock valve! , cheers, Donal.
  2. The panels and door arrived, a considerable weight ! Managed to fit rear door
  3. Hi Paul, great news ,I've been contacted by a nice chap in Swindon who has a pair of side panels and a rear door, I've a feeling that they are the actual ones that came off 17HG99, I need to check the serial numbers on them when they arrive, hopefully next weekend if the van chap is reliable.
  4. Just to keep you updated, its up and running, tracked down some spared including pair of military headlights.. I'm looking for another headlight grille, had one but other missing any other hvvpk parts I'd be interested in. Especially the rectangular..antenna box section on roof or measurements of.
  5. Hi Paul, the side panels and rear door are missing, the rest is there. I've a few mates to help, one is a fabricator and has agreed to make the side panels and rear door. The chap I got it off has 5 other armoured landrovers (one other piglet) including a pangolin, he even has an ex special branch armoured cortina! This is the condition he got it in. It's just the door and side panels, I'll take measurements from the other piglet when I'm up next weekend, it's an identical hvvpk but not two were exactly the same. The front bumper is in the back, the chassis needs outriggers (supplied) and the visible area in the photo. where bumper is mounted. The fire supersession system is still there. If you have any other photos it would be great. The v5 has 5 previous owners recorded. I'll keep you posted on any developments.
  6. Hello Paul, I have found the hvvpk, it was in Belfast. It's in quite a state. I've bought it and will have it here in a few weeks. But will get it back on the road.
  7. Paul, do you know where it was based in Northern Ireland when it was in service?
  8. I've tried! Did track down a car chassis in the west, was stolen by subversives in 1920/21 burnt out and dumped in a lake, but its a tender I'm after... 😁
  9. Price not an issue! Just to find one
  10. I am probably seeking the impossible, however I've always admired crossley tenders, I am now starting my search for one in any condition, money ready. Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks Donal Flynn
  11. Hi if anyone knows of a tender for sale in any condition, I would dearly love to obtain one, any price. Any information would greatly appreciated. Regards Donal.
  12. Hi mike nice to see another one nearby! Ive a 1922 ec . If I can be of any help let me know. Mines roughly in same condition as yours. Donal:-)
  13. Yes Dave lockard sent me a chart and handbook. It seems to point that way. I found some numbers on some of the castings 14 04 22 which I assume are date stamps. I also believe it's a civvy model as the remaining paint in chassis and other parts is bright yellow! . Good news re rear wheels which were locked solid all I had to do was slacken off the brake adjusted and clean between the shoes and drum using my wife's icing spatula and cheese knife to clear the congeled grease which was also bonding it . Wife wants new utensils !!. Tracked down correct radiator near Manchester so a trip over is coming up...end Oct.
  14. Well the Packard arrived here at last.. phew . It was a bit of an ordeal unloading.. using a jcb and straps around the bucket.. glad the health and safety dept wasn't about they would have had a fit !!. This is the first time I've seen it in the flesh and I'm happy with it.. one surprise is the front wheel rims were with it plus a few other bits that I wasn't aware of which is a big plus. My suspicion that the gear box was missing was confirmed .. if any one has one hiding in a shed let me know !?? . The exhaust system is complete and in good condition. All in all its a good starting point. The chassis plate is missing but I was told the number is the same as on front timing cover on engine this is ec 1496a . The neighbours were of course thrilled to see this apparatus being dropped opposite their house !!. Any way pics will be posted over next 24hrs. Cheers for now . Donal
  15. Hi all just to let you all know the Packard is now in Dublin having travelled by ferry overnight from Liverpool. It will be with me in a few hrs. A long wait but worth it. Ill know the chassis no etc when it arrives so will post pics later. Donal
