croc Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 That mat is easy to find. Yes the winch rope will pass out the front, but as on the Scammell Pioneer and exlorer and the like it is only inteded to be used for self recovery when lead out the front. Thanks for that Mike. It's hard to believe it's the same vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I haven't been keeping records up to date, but I can cross reference chassis number to quite a lot of Military and civilian registrations, and previous owners, but I haven't had the time to keep these listings up to date, the currency of my dated was lost in about 1995-6 but I have reasonable records up to that point. Cheers Mike,........I'll try and get some details,.......its a 6 wheeler, that I do know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
