Thanks I do like the Zil very much but to be honest I only have 2k and I cant see that changing for many years, the house family etc come first so you can imagine its took a long time to save the 2k, I have a few odds and ends left in the garage to sell but I cant see them achieving much, so it might be the end of the MV dream for us LOL

I have had Land Rovers in the past and to be honest whilst I am a big fan I have always fancied a Scammell explorer but unless I win the lottery that isn't going to happen. I was just hoping I could find a usable 4x4 military truck for my budget of £2000 but its looking unlikely.

Thanks The land is 10 miles from home but only 6 or 8 depending on the final storage location. Shows due to cost I would only really attend local ones. How could it be classed as agricultural? My ideal vehicle would be something RL sized with a box on the back so we could camp in it. If money was no object I would have one with a Hiab so I could have a flat bed or camper but dream on with my budget.

If you need some one to drive one around I would be happy to help, loads of enthusiasm but short on cash to get my own

Now a few questions Could some one briefly correct me? Tax Free if its before Feb 1973? Red diesel Only if its a mobile crane? Licence Passed in 1986 I think so ok up to 7,5 tons? Petrol engine = singke figures MPG? Diesel 15 MPG? MOT well you tell me as I am confused? Insurance I have budgeted for about £200 Recovery, how do I get it home when I break it? I do know a coach operator who is helpful so he might help?

Thanks I am 50 soon and felt like it would be a treat for me too. I have spent the last years or so slowly selling all the junk in my garage, this is slowly building me a 4x4 pot. I feel the series Land rovers are over priced the Disco offers much better value. I now need to sell this It will give me a good chunk towards the purchase price

Hello I often pop by and read as I am big Scammell fan but not done much posting so heres my first question? I want to teach our 15 year old son to drive as part of some lads and Dads days out as its such a difficult age to keep them occupied at. I have the land sorted, it even has a small 4x4 course I have the long term loan of some storage. So I was thinking of buying a cheap 4x4 but then had the idea of a military vehicle, something like an RL or smaller, so any ideas and what would it cost me? It just needs to be cheap and run, I cant afford to start major works but don't mind a bit of welding and painting as this would be part of the fun, we once had a very early Bedford CF and loved attending shows with it so I would also like to attend some local shows.

Hello I am an avid collector of junk and anything wth an engine I have wanted a Scammell Explorer or Pioneer since I was a small boy, not much chance unless I win the lottery, I have several cars and a Honda Monkey bike at the moment but I am having to down size due to lack of time space and money, so my 1940 Onan generator is going in the classifieds
