MilitantGraham Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Going back to the picture in the first post, you can see that it is Right Hand Drive. This identifies it as the replica built by Paul Hazell, who runs the Scammell website . There are a few fake Pink Panthers and SOV 110s about. Paul didn't want to be accused of trying to pass the vehicle off as something it was not, so he deliberately chose a RHD base vehicle, knowing the originals were all LHD. The gun is a 105mm recoilless rifle, the same type as used on the original vehicles and very rare in this country. I'll leave it to someone who knows about such things to explain the difference between a 105mm recoilless rifle, a 106mm recoilless rifle, a Wombat and a Mobat. They all look the same to me.

ArtistsRifles Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Some of the PP's were RHD - IIRC the European theatre one that Gaydon had was RHD. Seem to recall seeing others in diverse MT garages back in the Seventies tool :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
