A bit over the top for weeding isn't it ?

Those daisy roots can go deep!

What sort of hatch have you on the Truck, is it original,

Are they hard to come by

The original hatch was canvas with a flap at the back screwed to the rear of the hatch, it had a spring cord around the rim (a bit like a net curtain wire) and an aluminium stiffening bar which ran from side to side.

Unfortunately we lost ours returning from a show back in the eighties.

When the truck was owned by the Scouts they fitted an aluminium sheet on the the hatch underneath the canvas for security and to stop the kids sticking their heads out!

Been meaning to see about getting a replacement made for years!

I have somewhere John, but they'll take a lot of finding so don't hold your breath!

 

Chris, I can't quite see, that's a steel body on that isn't it?

Sean, yes it's steel bodied.

There was a wooden bodied one being repaired somewhere in Northants a couple of years ago which was used as a recovery truck at Silverstone race track. I haven't heard anything about it though for a while.

I remember seeing another wooden bodied one at a scrapyard in Watford in the early eighties which was later bought and restored by a chap who ran an Army cadet group. He used it for towing a 25 pounder and used to park it in Berkhamsted, but I last saw that one about ten years ago.

this is also interesting as you cannot see the laser but you see the effects

The laser might be the last thing you see! :shocked:

Didn't happen unless you've got photographic evidence!

Here we go then!

First one when purchased by the scout group in 1968,

second taken about three years ago.

Only modification was the addition of the indicators and the bonnet changed for a later one with the additional cooling slots

.:cool2:

Nice one in Watford...Very original. I know cos I've helped look after her for the last 38 years and driven her for 33.

was owned by local scout group until minibus laws changed re bench seats.

She's the reason I play with the green stuff!:-D

Hi. Does anybody know what happened to this K9 ambulance which was in a field near Gamlingay? I'd had my eye on it for some time and when I had room in my yard for a new project it had dissapeared :cry:!

Hello Chris,

Quite rare to have a GS, met Pete J from the Northants area a few years ago who had a one used by scouts so is it the same one?

Hi. yes it's the same one. Pete has got the green goddess now, and as he only has one a*se, I get to play with the austin!

Hi all. I'm Chris and am from Hemel Hempstead.

I have an Austin K9 GS which used to belong to the local scouts and where I cut my teeth on playing with mv's (they used to have a bedford mw as well). I am also a member of the northants branch of the MVT.
