Knowing the price of the Cargo variants, ill guess at £250,000+. And thats being conservative.
280 X £250,000 = £70 million. Better than wasting 70m quid on schools or hospitals.:thumbsup:

Thanks again. Do I need to move this discussion over to the motorcycle section?
It's entirely up to you. Members who are interested in motorcycles might not think to look here so, yes, why not start your own thread in the MC section ? When you get the time, please post some more photographs of your Triumph. Thanks.:thumbsup:

Said to have been 246 built, the majority going to NZ.
"Said to have been 246 built, the majority going to New Zealand". If that is true, then our Kiwi brothers have another 200 or so Explorers hidden away that they're keeping quiet about. I wonder if it's about time an Official Forum Expedition was sent to NZ to see exactly what's going on.

According to Kevin they had Rolls Royce engines Tom !:confused:
Of course they've got Rolls Royce engines. Everyone knows that. I was just seeing if you were paying attention. Personally, I feel the Kiwis should return these Explorers to the Land of Pom so that we can properly examine them. (we'd give 'em back, honest):-D
Is there any limit to the amount of misinformation within military vehicle reference books ? I thought *** ** *** by *** **** was bad enough but it now seems others are at it. I think I might write a "Definitive Guide to Military Vehicles" myself and just make up all the facts and figures as I go along.

I am still in the research phase at the moment.
I expect you are already a member of the Triumph Owners' Club.

Last week I was fortunate enough to acquire a 1954(?) Triumph TRW military bike.
Welcome to the forum Maggie. I think you are very fortunate to have found such an interesting machine. It's not difficult to imagine how handsome it will look after you have restored it. Maybe you would like to start a restoration blog.

Anymore New Zealand Explorer pictures Bernard ? Did they have Meadows Petrols ?
Another view of one of these gorgeous Meadows diesel powered Kiwi Explorers .:wow:

Not wishing to risk upsetting the cordial relations we enjoy with our Kiwi brothers I limit my comment to :banghead:

Hi
I had a look at http://www.suezcanalzone.com/pics15.html, I found this picture, can it be a scammell Pioneer SV1S ore do I have to get my eyes checked :confused:
It could well be.
In fact, it could well be this actual Pioneer also shown on the same site. A fascinating site thanks for posting.

I have a Diamond 969 wrecker.
We like 969 wreckers !
Welcome to the forum and please post some photographs of your Diamond T when you have the time. :tup::

Only consult the manual as the very, very last resort.
Welcome to the forum. You might like to consider starting a restoration blog. Reading these blogs is an excellent way for other forum members to waste time when they should be getting on with their own projects.

Its military number is 86 ET 73 would any one have any history on it.

Very nice too. Are there any 'photos of it with it's trailer already on the forum ? Thanks.

How many miles ???
TED in sunny Balmullo
That's gorgeous ! Maybe they should move the photo-shoot to Balmullo. Who's Gipsy is this ?

A Coles crane? Sad to see it in this state. Retrievers are rare and well worth being saved.
Hanno, this is the nearest I've got. A Crossley with a Coles MkV1, 2 ton crane. I think the Leyland would have had a very similar crane. It certainly is the same scale of vehicle as the Retriever. Someone may have a photograph showing a Leyland Retriever with a crane mounted on the back.

When I first saw this lorry, some eight or so years ago, it was fairly up together and had it's crane mounted on the back. It looked really sweet. The crane is no longer there, possibly, hopefully, being restored elsewhere. The overall condition has worsened after having been standing in the open for so long. It's in a yard on a trading estate in Devon. There can't be many of this type of lorry that have survived. I wonder what it's fate will be.
By the way, your correspondent had to wrestle with half a dozen ferocious guard dogs to take these photographs. I just thought I'd let you know. :box:

Sorry looking Volvo was sheeted up ten years ago when I moved to Lincolnshire, and I first spotted it, but in the passing years the sheet has rotted off and the Volvo has gone into serious decline. I spoke to the ownner at the weekend, but got the usual, It's not high on my priorities, I haven't really thought what I am doing with it, it isn't hurting stood there cr&p, It nneds saving but I guarantee it will be rust in ten years time....
People like that, after having their vehicles put into care, should be placed on a special register.

Anyone for some Swedish Porn??
Only if it's paid for by the Taxpayer.:readpaper:

Welcome to the forum OldExplorer and thank you for an excellent first post. Looking forward to a few more 'photos of any other interesting military vehicles you may see in Thailand. I expect somebody will be along soon to tell us what make the.....erm........whatever it is that you've just posted a pix of. Cheers.

Here's a link to a picture of a Gliding Club's fuel bowser - down as a Mammoth but looks a bit Militantish to me!
Could be an inbetweenie.
-
Is this a bridging truck, basically a cargo with a winch, and it's associated trailer ? Does anyone know ? One has to admire these drivers. It's bad enough just taking an unladen Militant out on the road never mind one with the steering wheel on the wrong side plus towing a trailer of this length.
-
Some more pics. These are from 26 Regt RCT '77
Wonderful photographs. Thanks again, very much appreciated.:thumbsup:

he has driven a Scammell, and managed to do so without grinning like a muppet.
Welcome to the forum Declan and congratulations for driving the Scammell without grinning like a muppet.
