6 X 6 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Are these the Australian Explorers mentioned earlier on this thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well they're possibly not the Egyptian variant as the front winch fairlead is on the wrong side meaning they are RH drive. I also notice that the one I have posed as Australian may be New Zealand as it has a number starting with NZ on the door! :red: I'll look into that a bit further. Yup should have been New Zealand, in 1956, the Egyptian ones were in 1959 time spent in research is seldom wasted either!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roof Over Britain Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 [quote= Any info on the Explorer in the pics please mate ? Looks like you have a lovely collection of vehicles ! Andy F __________________ As promised Andy, This Explorer isn't mine but belongs to a mate who keeps it at my place. I can't find a note of the chassis number just now but it is an early one. It still has the Meadows petrol destroyer. He bought it from the late Bill Henderson of Ballochmyle who in turn had bought it from the garage in Dalbeattie It was one of the worst tow jobs I ever did with the Matador, It had stood for years without turning as wheel, with the result that the tyres all had flats on them, at anything more than about ten MPH the resultant vibration would have shaken the teeth from your head.

Richard Farrant Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Is this not Nothe fort ?at one time it was offered for free to anyone who was willing to restore it. Ashley As I replied earlier, my mate was doing some building work at the Fort when the Scammell was put up for disposal. He thinks it was taken to Shropshire area by some guys, for restoration.

antarmike Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Andi's Explorer a couple of weeks after she bought it. GDSF. Was the extra pulley on the jib a REME mod or would it be a civilian addition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
