Lovely, thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys for the replies. If only I had the room to store such vehicles....Hopefully someone will save them.

Just out of interest how much would you say scrap value would be for something like this? I'm guessing the recovery booms would add significant weight?

Certainly look like two great T's to save though and dare I say it would look good restored in their current livery.

Thanks for posting, shame about the red and white tape!

Is that the one that was used to rescue skip lorries from the Betchworth land fill site?

I saw it many years ago, land fill site is now one of our nature reserves.

Not to my knowledge. This one is in a yard in the West Midlands.

Not sure if this one has been on here before?

Assuming it was an orange truck on the front it was heading to Crouch's.

Beat me to it. They put this post on their Facebook post yesterday:

That Austin Gipsy looks nice :whistle: thanks for sharing your photos of what was another good show.

Top marks all round, Sunday looked like a bumper day.

Scott

Following this with interest both on here and FB.

Keep up the excellent work.

Does it still have its engine and transmission ? Is it for sale ? Where is it ?

Have sent you a DM David.

Spotted this one today hiding in a yard. Don't know if it has already been mentioned.

Spotted this one lurking in the yard of SE Davis during a visit to the Vintage Gathering which is held on their grounds each year.

Thanks all for the responses.

Last weekend we were in Dunkirk for the 75th commemorations taking place in the area during the Bank Holiday Weekend.

During one of the day's we visited a good display in the Community Centre on the outskirts of Bray Dunes. This snap was displayed on one of the photo boards. Just wondering what make of vehicle is it?

You'll notice the picture is back-to-front as the five on the bridge plate is the wrong way around as is the writing on the building behind.

Over to you guys.

Link not working for me Andy? Just curious to look further

A couple this afternoon:

Jeep driving south on the M40 between 5 and 4 around 2pm.

Land Rover (looks like a Shorland but I'm not sure it is) pulling a caravan a little behind an MAN pulling a military trailer on the M40 northbound. Both I presume had been to the Overlord Show at 3.30pm.

Thanks guys for the answers. I have passed on the details to my friend who asked the question. He did also send me the pic which is attached on the above link.

Scott

A friend of mine has asked if anyone has anymore information about the following vehicle. Was it a one off?

He knows it ended up as a Wrecker with Auto Recovery Services Leeming Bar on the A1M as pictured here. Anyone got a build date?

Any info greatly appreciated.

I spoke to Neil tonight and he told me that 16 of the lots sold, including both Diamond Ts, the Rogers trailer, the full size Matador and the 2 half sized Matadors, the Foden FH70 Limber, the Dodge Fire engine, the Series 1 Land Rover hardtop, and the FH70 Howitzer which is going to Australia!! Unfortunately I don't have the prices that they sold for.

Thanks John.

Any details on the sale?

That's a Ford WOT2

:red: now who is the embarrassed one! Thanks Lauren.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, is that a Morris Commercial Radio Truck second picture down? Not seen it before, npw who it belongs to?

Hi Scott I know its a bit late but i always get there in the end. Yes thats the one I got some pics of it at the time and the owner allowed me a quick drive in it but have seen nothing of it since just wondered what happened to it. I know he was still restoring it at the time.

I think John has answered your question at the top of the page. Looks like it is still around.

Scott

Damn, I'm on a stag do in Estonia that weekend. I'll have to make sure that I stay clear of that email address just in case :cool2:

I'll be interested to see what kind of prices these go for.

I've been following this thread with interest, and it's good to see things finally coming together. Always one of my favourite vehicles.
