    Would the Mick referred to in a previous post be Mick Giles??? If so I used to work with him many years ago at Sinclairs in Cambridgeshire Its a small world!!!

    There was another engine Lord Roberts A Burrell road loco) driven by the late Steve Neville who did move the tank quite some distance. Gigantic was then put on the tank and I rather think the army wernt going to be beaten again!!! Will try to get that video uploaded!!

    Probably.....who knows lost in the annals of time However if I trip over the owner I will ask him for the full story

    The video was taken in 1990 The engine had just been restored (for the first time after coming back from the Southern hemisphere) The owner at the the time couldnt remove the front axle even after removing the pin that held it in place so didnt bother..................until he tried to tow a Chieftain!! I havent uploaded the initial attempts when the engine kept rearing up

    I suggest everyone reads the editorial "Despatches" There is a bit of a gaff on the proof reading (well I hope it is a mistake otherwise W&P may be interesting!!!)

    Glad its not only me that finds CMV doesn't quite hit the spot both with content and layout Mind you I am of an age where Wheels and Tracks set the benchmark, and nobody has come close since Think I took a photo of the Ford at Chatsworth last year, will have to have a look later

    There is no need to MOT (a form v112 will need to be completed when the vehicle is taxed) The vehicle has been inspected by an approved club, job done!!

    Just leave it blank...............there isnt one!! I take it you have jumped through the NOVA hoop and got a dating letter from a club? If so then happy days and remember despite what some people will tell you (if the date of manufacture is pre 1960 and it should be) then you WILL NOT need an MOT to tax it

    Maybe its something to do with the vehicles that are for sale It is I would suggest a very niche market within a niche market People will have a Jeep or a Dodge or a Land Rover because they are easy to drive, maintain, store etc etc A DROPS and a Saladin are big, complex and not easy to store (thats before you get into the driving licence, taxation class discussions) And maybe do not inspire peoples imagination as other vehicles do, lets face it DROPS are still I believe in service

    I too await the outcome with interest................I wonder who the company is approved by?
  23. Brooky
    Now that sounds like a plan as they are in the DVLA list!!
  24. Brooky
    Dont know about that, but the police can take the vehicle away to be examined either by themselves or a contractor or get DVSA to examine it Remember the DVSA can stop any motor vehicle and give it the once over. Seen this at Strensham services one morning when they were pulling cars and caravans

    Agree with the above I think they may be able to help with some things but not everything!! The website does look a bit "amateur" and I think they are making claims they cannot carry out Particularly like the same day dating letter claim!!! A robust inspection procedure in place there then!! I do stand to be corrected though!
