  1. Hopefully nothing rare on display in this country if they are giving them away.
  2. All the TA Divisions were disbanded in 1967 so I assume you have got your terminology incorrect.
  3. This is believed to be my Daimler in Pounds.
  4. Any suggestions please on what application this light was used on.
  5. This is the holder for the Oil Can David is refering to from a Daimler Armoured Car but every manufactuer produced their own designs. It should have a spring which hooks over the top to secure the can.
  6. They are common on late-war Generators where most of the survivors probably come from.
  7. Looking for the turn buckle component of this crate catch if anyone has one. The plate it is attached to is 4cm diameter.
  8. Presumably for a patch of Gas Detection Paint so the driver can observe it when driving.
  9. Ian V Hogg makes reference in his book British & American Artillery of WW2 to an 8 Pounder Anti-Tank Gun in 1942 but not a 12 Pounder. They were unable to balance the design on either the 6 pounder carriage or the tank mounting and once they reduce the length of the barrel to achieve it the performance was no better than a 6 Pounder.
  10. I am trying to put together a Dynamo Two Speed Control Panel for my Daimler Armoured for which I need the following components. If anyone has any suggestions on sources it would be appreciated. Fuse Box CAV Type 1M with blade fuse not glass type Relay CAV Type DR1 Unit Resistance Lucas Type RU10/2
  11. Hand Book on e-bay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leyland-Hippo-Drivers-Hand-Book-1945/333800488020?hash=item4db80f3c54:g:rKQAAOSwV3RfvNrx
  12. I have the second manual but 2nd edition 1942.
  13. Looks a lot better than others out their but a lot of money for someone not used to current model prices.
  14. Yours is missing a few bits like the frame etc and has been modified. The only way of getting spares is to break another one which you could do because they are fairly common but they are not worth a great deal so a problem if you want to get your money back.
  15. Yes. With a short break I have been a member since 1979.
  16. I found it by accident. Just nobody approving new members at the moment.
  17. Does any know if the MVT Face Book is still active? No one appears to be approving new members.
  18. Diesel will still required for ships but its supply will be restricted at some time in the future. Between this and the new tire regulations if enforced, more modern MV's will be a lot less desrible in the future.
  19. If it was the one that ended up at their Museum in Winchester it was subsequently given away or swaped and a gutted hull was put back in its place. The RWY also aqurired one off a Range and I believe ended up with the same owner who aquired the Winchester one.
  20. Petrol will always be available at a price for historic vehicles for specific purposes but the hobby will turn more and more into a rich mans hobby because of the cost. There will also be a transition period when petrol remains freely available for those cars still on the road so if you can afford it you probably don't have to worry for 15-20 years.
