Zero-Five-Two Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Big, heavy, old english trucks. Scammell, Commer, AEC.etc. But especially the Mk1 Militant, it is such a beast to drive. no power steering, crash box, but there is some thing just right about it.

afvnut75 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Im completely besotted by my rarden fv432 and my fv434 fitters vehicle and V8 dpv 110 ive shed both skin and blood whilst working on them and its been worth it ! My 434 is currently undergoing a refurb but i cant wait until shes all finished since i started working on my fv432 fleet ive learnt so much in the understanding and mechanical practises of gkn far more than you ever would on civi vehicles, What does it for me is that after a week or so work on these green and black beasts and have finished what you set out to do or have reached the end of a restoration and you see her on the back of a lowloader going to its first show its that feeling i cant believe ive accomplished all that, Then its having a great deal of fun driving them . Not too mention the beer tent at the end of the day .:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

early british ww2 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It has to be any of the Early Aeroscreened British 15cwt's ( It is not because of their weather equipment as there may as wel be none and hence their nickname as the Pneumonia Wagons!! ) - They are all unique in their own way from the curiously ugly Guy Ant through the Austere Bedford Mw and Commer Beetle to the Plain Fordson to the quite pretty early Morris CS8's and PU8's:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For me it has to be the AEC Matador. Typically British and one vehicle that I will hopefully own sometime in the future! :cool2::-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan110 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For me it's the Land Rover 110. Looks great, cheap to run, very versatile and useful, reliable, spares abound, many different variants so always something new to find out.

rog8811 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For me it has to be the AEC Matador. I second that, I came across my first matador at the age of 7 or 8 in the woods. The local tree surgeons, Dalrymple, were hauling out major oak trees with one, it seemed to spend half its time with its front wheels in the air. It made a lasting impression.

Adam Elsdon Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Saladin Armoured Car and AEC Matador in Gun tractor guise, both very British serious sturdy looking machines. And of course my Pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 thats a two sided question really: "Sensible"/affordable Saracen, Pig and Ferret Silly Crusader or Challenger 1 or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ray Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The 10 ton Leyland Hippo, I drove many,many miles whilst in Germany in the fifties, fabulous truck, or the Scammell Explorer, another great piece of british engineering. Of course in todays traffic they would both be very slow, but in the fifties they were fine...... both a real mans truck to drive.:kissoncheek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o.g-palmer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I love the Bedford range of trucks, from the oldest I have driven ie the OY & QL to the more recent MK & MJ. Hard to explain why I guess its down the reliability and robustness of the things. :cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
