My pioneer was built in 1945 and it has no name cast in the radiator or any Gardner name cast in the inspection plates on the engine

Anyone know where i can find a rear body?

When is was used as a snow plough, as the top speed is only 15 mph would the snow not fall faster behind it than it was being cleared in front of it?:shake::-D:-D:-D

There is no comparison the Pioneer with no power assisted steering ,no door tops , and hand operated crane winch is a real mans motor and must not be confused with the Explorer with all its post war modifications, whatever were they thinking trying to make a national servicemans life easier.

Thanks for clearing that one up mike , i didnt think for one minute that Wincher Fincher would ever fall foul of mr plod:stop:please accept my sincere apoligies and now that the Antar is back on the road (well done) dont run me over with it at Rushden Cavalcade.:shake::shake:

According to the magazine article(POLICE WANTED VEHICLES WEEKLY) it was taken in Driffield town centre the owner being recorded as Nick Finch .?

Found this picture recently , it shows a douglas timber tractor parked facing oncoming traffic , on double yellow lines on the approach to a pedestrian crossing .Anyone know who,s it is ? . Surely this is not the image we want to give out to joe public about vintage vehicles .

Collecting Cat 951a from the old R.A.F Desborough site home of 84 O.T.U

The cat weighs around 10 tons .we loaded it using the scammells winch with a snatch block 2 to 1 ratio as the cat slips on the steel ramps . Scammell weighs 10 ton ,cat weighs 10 ton ,trailer weighs 41/2 ton 24 ton gross weight . Only 102 BHP but still managed to get into top gear and reached almost 24 mph at one point! Scammell was used by Royal Engineers in Palestine 1947 to move engineering supplies and plant still doing the same job 62 years later .SCAMMELL THE LEGEND LIVES ON
