Smithy Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Very nice. I know not to everyone's liking but if I brought it then I'd be tempted to keep it in it's post service guise. Certainly something very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 From Guernsey? I agree that it is one of those that should be restored in this guise as it spent longer in this configuration than as a FAT. Bit like the old Atcost and Tyler crane wagons built on Morris and CMP FAT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just been flicking through the Wheels and Tracks magazines I've acquired and came across the picture below. I'm 99.9% certain that it's the same vehicle in the attached link. What a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean N Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Or is it? Signwriting is different, and the front arches. Would it have seen new signwriting etc. that late in its life? Would they have had two? Either way, great find that photo, cheers Smithy Edited February 21, 2015 by Sean N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
