Scammell4199 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 that's about £1500!! is that right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 yes it is actually closer to 1200£, an absolute steal at that price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Probably cost double that to get it home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yes transport to the Uk would possibly cost the double, but then you would have a pretty rare piece of kit for less than £5000. And everyone would be able to recognise what it was from the Airfix model kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Unfortunately cranes of this type and others appear fairly regularly in the UK with very little interest. The favourite one is the leyland Retriever which most people would convert back to a GS Truck if restorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammell4199 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Best you buy it as a spares donor then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 It is not much use for me, as it is a short wheel base petrol and mine is long wheel base diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Oh really. I didn't realise there was different wheelbase versions. Does that mean the crane is of a different capacity? Still bits for the crane though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 From what I know the Cranes might be the same, but of course there would be some spare for mine in it I would just be better if this was restored aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbjørn Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 This Thornycroft was bought by Rogaland Krigshistoriske Museum near Stavanger, Norway. It will be restored. Have a look at our facebook page for more pictures of the Thornycroft and our other projects: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rkmuseum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Glad to hear someone has snapped it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
