NRS91 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hey guys, Im Nick from Macclesfield near Manchester. I have a 101FC GS FUT made by Marshalls and a 5.5ton stores trailer converted to a living van amoungst the growing collection. I would love a Scammell Explorer when i can afford as it would compliment the living van well! Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRS91 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 if i can find a diesel one that needs work but is drivable then i can start the "trying to pursuade my mother" process i would love an opportunity to get it muddy too when i eventually get one i know theyre steady on the road but whats the top speed (or comfy cruising speed) of one with a gardner 6lw or Cummins L10?

Welcome Nick, I would think it would be quicker with the Cummins than the Gardner but no doubt someone will be along soon to give you a definitive answer.

NRS91 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 i do love my Gardners, ive got one in my ERF C Series, but i think your probably right lol anything over 20mph with a cab is a bonus on driving classic tractors :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
