The ex-Watts 981 is in the Yard of Severn Beach Garage / Avon Recovery. The give-away is the modified windscreens and the modified exhaust outlet (LHF bonnet - the small square cover is to clear the pipe). Not a usual mod. I believe it is Rolls powered.

 

It is painted up in olive drab and sits next to their 981 in desert sand. I saw it about 6 months ago. All there but has not moved in a while.

This one is called "who is helping who?" Any ideas what is going on?

 

 

Mike,

 

It look like the wrecker has left the road and gone down in a culvert, whilst suspended towing what might be an Otter armoured car. The other armoured cars also look like GM (Canada) Otters, one seem to have a towrope on the two vehicles, whilst the other has a rope across to the top of the towed casualty, to stop it from rolling over.

Dear Private Dave.

Re the alterations to the bonnet. I have kept the original air cleaners on GLU and only used one side of the hercules bonnet. when I built GLU I bought a brand new C6 engine which made starting 100% better. I have owned GLU now for over 25 years and my purchase of 'Bishops T' will be number eight of T's that I have owned. If you wish to call for any info or a chat please do so on 0033 231 10 11 98.

All the best.

Tony Graves.
