rampant rivet Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Am considering restoring my early sankey trailer can any one tell me what type it is please and due to its condition would it indeed be worth restoring, would a later model tub fit onto the chassis ? any help much appreciated.

G506 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi Rivet, I havent got much in the way of reference material with me currently, but it looks like a Mk2 1/2 tonner, from aprox 1956 - 1958ish. I think Brockhouse also made the mark 2, as well as Sankey, does it have the chassis plate still? Personally I think its well worth restoring, hows your welding ability? Seems a shame to put a later tub on, as these 1/2 tonners are fairly scarce these days, plus yours seems to be fairly complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Blimey, that looks like a whole new tub will have to be made for a genuine restoration job. Never seen that early type before, nice piece of kit. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Had a good look for plates but could not see any, have decided to make new tub sides as the floor panel seems not too bad but will know more when I get to lift the tub off luckily the inner wheel arches are salvable and it should look nice behind the champ Hi Rivet,I havent got much in the way of reference material with me currently, but it looks like a Mk2 1/2 tonner, from aprox 1956 - 1958ish.
