Sean N Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Transferred from the 'Heads Up' topic; this AEC Militant now for sale: It's been shortened at the rear, and an extra subframe and the 4 tonner body fitted, but that could be removed quite easily. It runs and drives but the clutch is stuck and the fuel tank leaks. Overall it looks tatty because of the body and the peeling paint, but from what I've seen of it it's actually fairly sound and would be quite straightforward to restore or put back on the road - the cab is a lot more solid than many unloved (or even well loved) old Militants. It's in East Dorset, and advertised on behalf of a friend. If you'd like to come and have a look or want to know any more contact me. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 More photos by request It looks a bit sorry for itself because the panit's awful, the body isn't great and it wants a good spruce up, but looking beyond that I'm not seeing any major cab rot or issues anywhere.

ArtistsRifles Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 You sure its 6x4 and not 6x6? The shot of the cab interior seems to show the hi/lo and 6x4/6x6 control levers to the rear of the drivers cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) That is 6 x 4 Neil, you can tell from the front wheel hubs. The two auxiliary gear levers in the cab are Hi-Lo ratio and winch engagement. Poor thing does need a bit of love. How much is your friend asking for her, Sean?

Did wonder at that - but the winchers we had all had a hand throttle down beside the drivers seat (made for a good cruise control on the autobahns) and I didn't see that in the photos. We live and learn :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Neil, if it's a 6x6 someone's bent the front axle and stolen the diff! Not sure what he's after for it - open to offers, I think. Give me a shout if you want to discuss further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
