Long story short,me & truck (1959/M55) went down to the all new Beltring-on-sea & with just 1/4 a mile to go,the big end went!It was towed in by some Dutch guy's,who said that ex-Dutch army truck's had the same engine (R6602 10L petrol) and post release were re-engined with diesel,so any lead's?

Range fate is a shame (if anything is left) would be most interested in a missile turret turny thing (Tech-term!) for my MCT (have the missile rack's + turret box) already.

don't call me Surely! A qutoe- from the movie Airplane & the Major-Genral song, is that is his no of post's rank in H.M.V.F.!

P.S. you are I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

Great War Truck Winner - "Best non-bus" award. Seaton bus rally August 1997,nice & don't call me Surely!

Yep me to,A 10L Petrol ,6 cly engine (which has A straight though exhaust) make's a lovely nosie!But as it is the LWB version (of the M54) at over 44,000lbs & 32 feet long,short or light it not!

That's good,my cic59 M55 (10L,Petrol 5-ton Reo) does 3/4 mpg on a good day!

Yep,I so concur!

Sorry for the lateness of reply but pre-Beltring my pc went U/S & am now back online.As it was a bit "damp" the first half, (arrived to mud left in dust!) I didn't get to see your new toy close up,but from the pic's she's way different to how she was & all Kudos to you for not going down the usual Bang 1-2-3 route,In conclusion great,superb & "nice"!

I agree,as it sounds great but any liability is now transferred from the Gov to you!!!!!

& was he the guy,when watching a re-run on the news at (Wellington barracks, I think) told Mrs T the P.M to put her ******* head down as he couldn’t see! R.I.P. a legend

Do'H!

I would have thought the REME museum would be all over this,applying for a lottery grant, launching an appeal in order for a new building next it (near them if no room) for a new building to house the collection undercover + a arena like Bovy’s (to draw the punters in) & long-term a workshop building where Friends of the REME museum (like Bovington has) could restore things.I just hope its your cunning plan...

I would have thought it was a width issue,as early CVRTs were under the legal road width & new model CVRTs are much wider.

That’s a big Do’H re Dieppe!
