Minesweeper Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That is on an AEC Y-type chassis and is as good a use for it as any unless, of course, you have a complete set of Y-type mechanicals and need a set of wheels! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Founder Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I like it! Wouldn't mind having it on my place as a mobile office. To bad it's an ocean away! Can you imagine the cost of shipping that beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Aside from looking at this for a rebuilding project back as a truck, in its present format it represents the use of WW1 items in a latter period of time. Relating this to military application as a living quarters it could well have been used by a contractors crew with a steam roller building an airfield for WW11. Items that have been adapted or changed can often carry a more important historical past record than the original item. Attach this to a steam roller and or traction engine or similar where living on site was part of life, relate that to a WD contract and you have another display at a rally.

Roy Larkin Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I agree with Doug. There appears to be some genuine history to it, so it's an interesting historical piece as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
