    If you have ever wondered what a martian convertable would look like here are the photos:rofl: This is Doughty bobs fire damaged martian minus the roof - the heat has done a pretty good job on it. Does the convertable martian look better:??? Not with our summers it doesn't !! Bob would need a wet suit :rofl: More pics of bobs restoration as I get them:)

    will let you know going to do the roof first then look for door rubbers:)

    Will check this one out as well - thanks for that. I think dive suit would be better as there is that much water blowing in !! I should not complain as up to now the bodywork has held up really well-I don't want to do it as I enjoy the spanners much more than tin or woodwork, I have come to the conclusion if I rip the old roof off then I will have to put a new one on or have the first convertable scammell explorer on the rally field and with our summers that really isn't an option.

    Hi Daz - thanks for that - will give them a call on rubbers, the ones in there are in a bad way and the boy is picking holes in whats left of them which doesn't help. Will have to get roof off and then speak to GPS - he has had a go at a few telegraph poles in his time - he might have some laying around - oh I wish laughing smiley was working !!

  17. thor698
    Hi I am having to redo the cab as the rust worms have taken over and we are getting wet !! I am looking for some door rubbers - do any of you know a good supplier? I am also looking for advice on how to get the roof corners right - any suggestions and advice would be great? Thanks for your help!!
  18. thor698
    Thanks for the suggestion - Bob is keen to get it back to as near original as he can - he is currently chasing up a couple of leads for parts. If these come to nothing I will suggest to him. Thanks for all your help its been great. If anyone hears of amything please let me know and I will pass it onto Bob.

    Hi limited on this I'm afraid Do not think they went into commercial use - they were parked in someones field near Dorking and left we think. One now belongs to my cousin (one on the right) and the other one was used for spares. When I see my cousin I will try and get some more history.

    There was 3 explorers, a pioneer and some ducks. The pioneer he used to show One explorer was mine - the clutch blew in 1974, they had also ripped the front out winching and when they borught the second explorer for recovery they gassed the back off because it had a big dozer blade as an anchor and put it on their new one, not sure where the second explorer went, the third one had a leyland 680 and now has a cummins L10 and is called lightening
