snort Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 hi, do you know who bought the saracens from cheffins a few weeks back might be interested in one:-) There are two I believe, parked next to the Shippea Hill railway line (near Mildenhall) In Freds yard. I think one of them is the cheffins one but may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I find this one very interesting, it is described as a Matador, the cab looks very SUCOE FWD to me and the crane is a work of art. http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190109-vintage-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I find this one very interesting, it is described as a Matador, the cab looks very SUCOE FWD to me and the crane is a work of art.http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190109-vintage-0 I think that it is a FWD SUCOE as well, the wheels don't look right although the axle ends look like FWD SUCOE, probably had later wheels fitted with duals on the rear axle. Definitely an interesting crane, were any fitted to SUCOEs or is it a later addition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog8811 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I have uploaded the photo for posterity, I know I have seen that crane arrangement before, would it have been on an airfield wrecker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think you are right. It is a SUCOE. I am sure if you looked at the hubs they will have Four Wheel Drive Auto Corp on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I think that it is a FWD SUCOE as well, the wheels don't look right although the axle ends look like FWD SUCOE, probably had later wheels fitted with duals on the rear axle. Definitely an interesting crane, were any fitted to SUCOEs or is it a later addition? The crane on the FWD is a British Mead Morris crane, almost certain it is a postwar civvy addition, check out the other vehicles in the sale including the WW1 Trucks 2 Latils, 1916 Peugeot, 1910 De Dion, 1920 Garford http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190104-vintage-0 1918 Latil http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190123-vintage-0 Edited April 30, 2016 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The crane on the FWD is a British Mead Morris crane, almost certain it is a postwar civvy addition, check out the other vehicles in the sale including the WW1 Trucks 2 Latils, 1916 Peugeot, 1910 De Dion, 1920 Garford http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190104-vintage-0 1918 Latil http://www.cheffins.co.uk/lot/-1190123-vintage-0 Hi Nick, I think another error crept in Cheffins catalogue, the crane would more likely be a Mead-Morrison, made in the USA. Think they had connections with Gar Wood. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snort Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 There are two I believe, parked next to the Shippea Hill railway line (near Mildenhall) In Freds yard. I think one of them is the cheffins one but may be wrong. I drove past last week, there are two there, they will be for sale I am sure, but may not be the Cheffins one, however the mobile number on the gate read : 07957027067. Hope this helps.

Great War truck Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I see that the Latil has been sympathetically restored: http://landships.activeboard.com/t63837026/latil-truck-displayed-at-the-2017-rand-classic-car-show-13-0/ Looks really quite a nice job.
