Another one from the Fylde Coast, Lancashire


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

joined some months back but keep getting prodded to do this so I'd best be a good boy :angel:

 

I'm not into the old military vehicles big time as some of you, however I have done lots of work in the past on civilian & ex MOD series Land Rovers. I also remember my local Shell Garage having a 1939 Chevrolet wrecker with a Harvery Frost winch frame on the back as their recovery vehicle. (Throttle pedal in the middle). At that time it was run permanently on trade plates, but I understand the original number was JTE 80.

 

I joined here because someone I knew from another forum was looking for a Leyland Martian Recovery with a diesel in it.

Thought I might have been able to gain a few beer tokens by finding him one.

After some internet research and a few phone calls I did find a suitable vehicle just about within budget, the man then went quiet! :banghead: :???

 

Don't expect to be a regular contributor here, but I do get to Flukeburgh steam rally most years and enjoy looking at all the old trucks etc.

 

I have a 1960 SWB series 2 Land Rover (civi) been off the road 20+ yrs awaiting full rebuild. (one day!)

and a 1963 SWB series 2A (civi) which is road legal but needs painting.
