Thanks for the replies fellas! Some good info.

Regarding running petrol engines in older vehicles. Does any anyone put additives into the tank when filling up with modeern fuel? Or do you just use unleaded 4 star?

Thanks for the additional information regarding the serial number location. I'll take a look! Thanks again.

£150 does seem a bit steep! What would be a more realistic price for a pair of these tracks?

Many thanks for the replies guys. Very helpful and much appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone could help me. Is it possible to ascertain an engine's capacity by using engine numbers rather than having to (I assume) remove the cylinder head? The engine is in a 1939 Commer Q2, it's a straight 6 engine. Is there a registry I could use or something like that? Cast into the side of the engine are these numbers:- 85 X 120 C 20xxx (I've not given full number here) Many thanks!

I've just watched the programme now. Total admiration for the guys who did / continue to do this work. Very brave men indeed!

As others have said, great pictures. Very interesting indeed!

For those interested, here's some pictures......... new battery and plugs and she starts like a good 'un!!!

Superb job you'veb done there! Looks really good

Nice progress, I look forward to watching the rebuild. Keep posting updates!

Great pictures……….. thanks for posting!! Your Tilly looks superb!

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics

WOW! So the 'valuation' is way of the mark!!!!

Out of interest, what is the going rate for one of these?

Sorry to hear about this. I hope the perps get caught and the items are returned

A search for "1939 30cwt Commer Q2" threw up this old thread. What is surprising to me is that my Dad's Commer is mentioned / pictured in posts 9 and 13. Long before I joined HMVF!! Anyway, I just thought I'd mention the fact that it's still owned by my Dad and that the Commer is going to be up for sale soon...........

Very interesting pictures, thanks for posting.

My Dad's got an restoration project that he wants to sell. The vehicle in question is a 1948 Vauxhall Velox, it has the brass army ID plate. The bodywork has been repaired where needed (quite a while a ago), including door sills and floor. All the parts are there such as seats, lights, bumpers roof new inside roof material etc. Unfortunately we're not sure what is a fair asking price and were wondering if anyone can give us an idea of a fair price for both seller and buyer……..Many thanks for any assistance! I've taken a few pics to give an idea of the car's current condition.

Great pics and info. Vietnam isacountry I want to do some travelling around. The wife and I are hoping to visit sometime

Agian, many thanks for the replies chaps. Much appreciated!

OK thanks for the info. I'll do a search and see if I can find it.

Hi guys, In order to correctly identify a chassis and bodywork………………... What is the difference between wartime Ford and Willys jeep chassis ? Also same question regarding the Ford and Willys bodywork (standard jeep configuration) Cheers!

That's quite an impressive bit of kit!!!
