Hello,

 

It is a shame that there are still a lot of vehicles that are just rotting away :undecided:.

 

While looking around on the web I came across the website of travellerdave, maybe some of you know the site.

http://www.travellerdave.co.uk/?s=31

On his site I found some pictures of a scrap yard in France (La Sône) with a lot of military vehicles.

Maybe you already know about this, but I just had to make sure.

I have been looking through this thread but haven't been able to find anything that looks like it.

 

Greetzz,

Yeah I picked up one for a guy in aussie for 28 to 30 quid (just waiting on the address to post it)- think he has several more NOS onesIts a pity really as there has been some real bargains that have come up but an ebay dealer is grabbing a lot of it now.

I wonder if any of them featured in Frituur Zorro?

 

False hope.. All our pictures date from the seventies and I am sure, they are all gone now (sob) or are in the hands of you, the collectors, restoring them to pristine condition (sob again)

following that link and looking through them all there is an incredibly complete Panzer MK4 sitting in the Golan Heights if anyone wants to go and have a word with the Syrians...

 

Well...........with the current situation being somewhat frosty......................can i be a fly on the wall whilst you have that small chat of yours. :-)

 

Suspect to get it out of the country you would need a belt fed bribe machine.

yeah know what you mean:cool2:...d'you reckon diplomacy or a loaded AK47 would be the best approach ?

all jokes aside.....as more and more of these previously 'unfriendly & more or less closed' countries change socially and politically, I'm sure they'll be some awesome finds made in the next few years.......

Unfortunately I haven't got room for the gates let a lone the Scammell. Not sure who the owner is but it's parked up with an assortment of trucks. It certainly hasn't moved for a while but looks to be in fairly good condition.

 

I can probably find out more if anyone is interested.

This is def the website to find someone that will be interested...:-\

....I'd really love to own such a big lumpy beast but as you say ...my driveway is cramped enough with a spare Landrover on it ...and I think my old Mum would draw the line at a Scammel sitting there alongside the other Landrover that's currently 'awaiting it's turn' in her garden :-D

......Just out of interest ....what neck of the woods is she currently nesting?
