Yep I thought he said you didnt need it

Now that is interesting any dates?

Bye the way no Robins Starlings or Blackbirds were harmet in the movement of this rats nest/ sorry engine

I take it you have never been to Wankum Germany yet?

I remember one of those sitting in an R.U.C yard It was light grey. Just outside Belfast in 1976 I wonder wher it went

just me but I cant see it?

Found this engine left behind so now the real work starts any one fancy giving a hand

Dont Forget the 3.7 AA and everything that went with it and post war 40/70 Boffors and radar befor the Leyland/Millitants

ADAC is the same as AA or RAC except they also do legal cover Now all there vehicles are in Yellow

P.S Thanks for leaving it for me

I know i may be hijaking your thred but all C8/9 owners will need to do this sometime.This is the project engine what I can use first then maybe a rebuild .Any thing to get away from the wife

I will do some more digging

Looking at my plans by David E Jane that looks nearly spot on though on the O/Side where that single break man seat is it is show as a rifle rack for10 rifles and the spare wheel on the same side to the rear. Just a note the two bench seats each had one lifting section to allow you past through the side door. Sorry my scanner isnt working

Yes that is a New Zealand Div marking and the dog tags are the pressed fiber ones one red other blue grey but they fade so its difficult to see in black white

I took mine to the London office Commercial Road E1 but they got a dealer to Re deactivate to new spec cost around 30 quid all in

Are you going to repalce the wiring if so can you keep me up dated as my truck is still sick I want to change all the red wires back and can you post some of the N/S engine bay carbourator springs linkage ect thanks

Could be the wife always leaves the car in gear!

Go for a VW181 Thingy then you can tell her you got a VW 4 door convertable with split rear seats. Once bitten

Just last night I watched a re run on the history chanel . My deepest respects RIP

Hes never going to get across that gap!

Last pics are definetly Fordstons. Re built RRs most if not all served with the RAF No2 Sqn ACC (Armourd Car Company) Apparently most of the work was taken out by Thomas Cook. Yes the holiday one. In Cairo around 1939 there were about 20 produced and they were used by No2 ACC as part of HABFORCE which was involved in the defete of the Vichy-French in Syria. But there normal tasking was scouting ahead of the main columns and capturing enemy airfields apparently due to the fact that the light armament would cause less damage thus speeding up the time to get the base operational again for the new owners. The Scarff ring anti aircraft mount was similar to those fitted to the old fighter bombers of the time and could be fitted with either single or twin Lewis guns.

Im not sure if i miss understood your post but just in case this is the C8 FAT No5 body as you can see a lot more room inside

Are you sure that wasnt a site guard base that was supose to hold the missiles for 50 miserable regt. Run by the yanks but we all had to take turns sanger bashing.

We always used a square drive 1/2 I think anything else and it rounded off then it was drilled out and lots of beer was given to the VM to keep him quiet
