timbo Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 More CVRT's of course.... Robin - you are right the Stormer is nicer to drive by all accounts but they have no soooooul... Oh, and a couple of DROPS for moving them - Scammell would do the job just as well but the Foden just looks so mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ray Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'd be happy with just a 1950's Commer Q4. :-) A few years ago there were two turned up on ebay at the same time. Both minters, one having spent all its life in storage. The most expensive one went for £2,500. I'd spend the rest on a small plot of land to park it on and a basic shed structure to keep the rain out, oh and fuel. A 1950s Commer Q4 fitted with the Ford cab was a very nice truck......... good choice.:goodidea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Maz 353 Scud launcher with Scud. DUKW Mk1 Militant RL-W Star with the folding out body And - for the REALLY big bangs in the arena at W&P - a SO-203 Psion 205mm howitzer.... Think I'd need at least a "2" in front of the "5" in your budget figure though Paul..... :embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz76 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 got an 813 kolos...not an antar though... I've just turned green..!! My absolute dream vehicle to own. The most I can afford at the moment is to watch them on youtube :embarrassed: Is it easy to get UK registration for it, or are there problems with its size for our roads? Have you taken it properly off road yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'd buy another Saracen, but a Mk 1, this time, as it's lighter than my Mk 5. I would get a B81 and fit that in it to see how much more responsive it would be. Then I'd buy a nice Stolly, a Mk 2, and fit it with a nice powerful modern diesel turbo engine, and get some engineering bod to make me up some sort of gizmo for either dis-engaging the drive on all wheels or some fancy extra diffs to eliminate the old wind-up problem, (and if it worked, I'd retro-fit the same system to the saracens) I'd get a troop of Ferrets, (including a Mk 1, altered so my dad can drive it with his one good leg....). I'd do my Class 1, and get a nice unit, with a decent low-loader, (which will have a nice living-van portion on it, to keep the Mrs happy at shows!)... and if i had any change left, I'd buy my mate John Martin's lovely FV432, and maybe a Centurion, too.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
