    One little thing we will need is the Bosch “VD” type vibrating coil for the ignition system on the Locomobile

    We do have photos and drawings available , also look at Duncan Pittocks post (Daimler CB22) I think, he has made a replica body , well almost replica as he had the bare bones of a body the same make as ours. Done a great job of it so far so between us all we should be ok.

    Hi, thanks for the info at Bridgeport. Literally a couple of weeks ago Tim Gosling got in touch with them, so very helpful and we have received so much information including parts / operators manuals etc. Incredible efficiency and lovely people.

    Hi, yes that’s the body then!! How funny. I got some photos of it from Barry Weatherhead when it was at the butchers.

    The bus is going to be sympathetically restored using as much original wood as possible in the body with the addition of a new top deck and staircase. It won’t have a super paint job as originally the khaki green was literally painted on with brooms and slapped on as best they could. We will do what we need to do but she will keep her “ battle scars” of 105 years😁

    Thankyou👍

    A couple of videos last November on our trip to Ypres. In case anyone is wondering why Ari is sat on the bonnet it’s because we were losing the radiator cap pin so he was doing his best to keep hold of it at a staggering 18 mph! IMG_1216.MOV IMG_1225.MOV IMG_1348.MP4

    So, finally I have an account and can put a few photos up for myself! Thanks so much Tim Gosling though for sharing some of the adventures had so far with my Liberty B. Here’s a few photos of her at last years Dorset Steam fair and then photos of having her rear brakes stripped and re lined, drums skimmed, new tyres fitted and ready for her drive last November to Ypres Belguim for Armistice day 2019.

    My good friend and joint owner of this vehicle heads up that section at GDSF so yes we are very involved with it there. Shame we won’t be there this year.
  18. Dorset Boy
    Yes we did, between a good friend and myself we own a few 1st war vehicles of various breeds, this is the next one on the list to get back running, biggest cost and time to do is the Birch double decker bus body

    Now you’ve practised on your own body you can sort mine out Duncan!!!😂😂😂😂👍

    Hi there, finally I’ve managed to open my account on this page lol. Here are a few photos showing our Locomobile which will eventually become a double decker ww1 “battle bus”. Long way to go but a good start with what’s there already. I’m sure my “ mentor” Tim will fill in all the details far better than I can😁👍
