Baz48 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Looks a good project certainly worth saving not sure about the tipping gear probably used to transport grain from farm to silo if my reading of the contract number is right V.3933 two batches produced against that contract L-239172 to 239388 and later L-759851 to 761099 including a number produced against contract V.3992 - but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter75 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great find, it's a truck type I have always want to have a go at rebuilding. Looks to be a lot of work and asking £5995. There is a YouTube clip of the recovery on the Austin military trucks page on Facebook. Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64EK26 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Looks a good project, but there is a lot of work and not for the faint hearted. Might be tempted in the price was lower This is in a yard just down the road from me, let me know if you are seriously thinking about buying it and I should be able to wander down and take a load more photos for you Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Radek Hi Redek - all I have is the Chilwell list which is concerned with Army Soft Skin Vehicles - it dose give contract numbers against census numbers and in a few instances end users - not sure if this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
