Meteor mark 4B Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I note the highest bid now stands at £3500, after earlier being £7995 (Withams price?). I'm also reliably ingformed that Vampires shouldn't have a back door. Certainly the one I knew of didn't. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I was trying to work out why Withams would be selling Vampires. Very old MOD stock found somewhere, perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Vampire Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNSFOLD Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Does it come with a wooden stake through the engine and does it stink of garlic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjstubley Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Here's a couple of pics of a fully restored Vampire (This is forum member Peterb110's truck) complete with mast and internals I had the pleasure of crawling all over this vehicle at Halifax Piece Hall a couple of years ago. Heck of a restoration. The 'back door' is more of a fold up access panel Oh to have the time space and money to do it justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolman Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Those 2 are like chalk and cheese! The latter is fantastic! Absolutely beautiful! Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
