greyhound32122 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 hello every one yesterday i went to the Cameron auction as i have been looking at buying a WW2 truck for some time know. so i thought it would be worth travelling to the auction to see what the trucks would make so to get some idea and after the short wheel base diamond t cargo went for £5400 i was surprised how cheap it was. when it came to the 969 wrecker i thought i would have ago at it and i guess i got carried away as by the end it was mine! hopefully it will be home later in the week and looking forward to using it as it will be useful for moving are collection of steam engines and lifting various items around. i would like to take it out to shows like War & Peace but are there any other shows perhaps more south west area were i could take it? as it is a vehicle i would rather drive to events than lowloader. regards sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhound32122 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 hi david any kind of event were i would be welcome to bring the T to i am interested in. the plain invasion sounds good as i only live less than 20 miles from the plain. but i am interested in anything really my thinking being if it is close enough to drive to then that's half the enjoyment for me. cheers sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuk 109 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Sam I was looking through one of my DT books ( TM Tankograd Technical Manual Series Diamond T 4 Ton ). I think the photo of the 969 on the first page bottom left is yours, i might be wrong but the reg looks like yours. Just thought you might be interested.

Canuk 109 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Sam Its not a proper manual, there a series of paper back books on military vehicles. They take references from the manuals. I just looked at Amazon and there's one there, but no photo of the book. Also if you google TM Tankograd No 6011 there' plenty there.
