cmp Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi Fellas Years ago I remember an add running in Wheels and Tracks for Crook Brothers Near Preston who had a number of WW2 military vehicle to dispose of, I suppose this would be mid 1980's ish. Amongst this lot was a Dingo. Would anyone one here remember it at all, was it ever photographed? best wishes to all Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Dunno , but there was a White Scout Car , stood outside & starting to deteriorate IIRC shortly after that site was sold for housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The firm is still in existence Maybe worth asking them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmp Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yes I think so, I'll drop them a line. I remember visiting the auction when ever that was and there were dingo parts amongst the lots, but they vehicle itself had gone by that time. I am told they even had new tyres then! regards nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 What they did have was a massive bonfire of galv. Land Rover sticks - size of a house. I assumed they were selling Ex-MOD to farmers who wanted hard-tops. The son said to me - "they will sell" , I had my doubts at the time if there was a market - times have changed LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmp Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hi All, Just thought I'd give this a stir again. Still looking for pictures of a Daimler Dingo taken in Crook Brothers Yard, near Preston, Lancashire. I recall a few grainy pictures in Wheels and Tracks all those years ago.
