Adrian Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) I hope this is to everyone’s liking, and thank you to those who have contributed information to help get us going. Tony/Graham I hope you have no objections but as you can see I have included your Pickfords Diamond T’s. To get on the register if the Diamond T owners post details and a picture in this thread I will reference the post number in the first column. It should not take long to build up a reasonable population. The information contained in the table should be enough for us to get going. I have initially included some of the vehicles which Dizzy-t and I are aware of. The first column will change as information is posted in the thread. The register is a picture file which can be easily updated. It was, after several attempts, the most effective way to present this many columns in a neat way. If any errors are spotted feel free to shout! More to go on soon. Moderators – can we please make this a sticky? :-) Cheers, Ad.

dizzy-t Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks to all who have contributed to our Register, I have had info from the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club of Australia, from a chap calling himself Tatra he has sent me the following websites to look at, http://www.hankstruckpictures/moshe_arzooan.htm http://webshots.com/aslbum/509779906PcLJGy?start=0. Facebook name Roni Sharon. Youtube. Transport Ability Part 1 & 2, there is no need to view all of the second film, as the Diamondt T's are only on few a few minutes of the second film. I hope you enjoy all the info,I cant remember which one it was, but there are about 90 odd Diamond T photos on it, all very interesting and possibly usefull for any one renovating one. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hope you guys don't mine me posting this here. It's posted elsewhere on the forum, but as it's vehicle specific I'm hoping you wont mind? Thanks Andy Diamond T help required for a Veteran!!! The father of a friend of my other half was a driver of a Diamond T Tank Transporter in the Army. It's his 80th birthday in April and what she really wants for his birthday present is for him to either get a trip in or drive a Diamond T again. Apparently he is a collector of classic cars, so he similar to us in his interest for historical vehicles. The gentleman lives in Guildford and she is willing to travel to where the Diamond T is based. I'm sure she would be willing to pay for the fuel! Are there any Diamond T owners that would be willing to give this Veteran a drive or trip in their Diamond T for his 80th birthday in April? If you think you can help, please PM me and I can pass your details onto the Daughter of the Veteran for her to contact you. Thanks in advance for any help offered.
