Ted owned YSV 865 for about twelve years having bought it from a showman and, with Steve Guest, converted it into a snow plough powered by a Gardner 150. Ted has many amusing stories relating to his experiences while clearing the local main roads with this Constructor. What with blinding snow blowing horizontally across the windscreen and the flashing orange light giving a sort of strobe effect Ted said it was hard to sense where up and down was never mind left and right.
A rear view of the same lorry after Ted sold it and it had been returned to being more military looking. At this stage the lorry still had the special towing bracket, fabricated by Steve Guest, that allowed Ted to hitch up to the big (100 ton ?) trailer one sees at GDSF. This towing bracket has now been removed and replaced the correct type very kindly given to the owner by that incorrigible Scammell enthusiast and all round nice bloke, yep, Steve Guest.
YSV 865 as it looks today.
