N.O.S. Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 That looks like a Tilling Stevens searchlight truck. But I'm surprised at the dual rear wheels. Wasn't one of these sold a year or two back? Quote

cosrec Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 The one i found interesting was the bus it is the vehicle used in the film the heros of Telemark It has been sent to England for restoration Quote

Tony, It is a Tilling Stevens TS20, and dual rear wheels are correct, it is a 4x2. The only one I know of was restored by Bill Hooker in Kent some years ago, and I think it must be that one. Quote
cosrec Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 The two german vehicles where picked up in lincolnshire last year for a guy called Bob and taken to Beltring we collected him 8 days later and also asked to fetch back the tilling stevens for a guy in Lincs whose name i dont know . The TK in pics was a serving Mod vehicle which oddly enough was being driven by a US reserve national guard on an exchange program ( he had desrt camoflage gear on)and had being given it as a runabout. when i picked him up He had been here in UK 3 days and he was sick of the weather and these goddam autos you ride about in.
