gritineye Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The thought had crossed my mind Bernard !:-D I do know a couple of places I could get the cab ! I would strongly advise you so follow your first instincts on this and get on with sourcing the parts, dare to be different, there's loads of ordinary Explorers about! Alternatively, just bring all the relevant parts down to my place and take away my cab in return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 X 6 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If this is a long-winded way of you getting around to showing us a photo of the fourth one lurking in the back of your shed, Tom, please just get on with it :cool2: Your clumsy attempt to distract attention from long suspected presence of the 'missing' fourth one languishing in your own massive complex of sheds has backfired. Jack has agreed to issue a Forum Search Warrant. We will all be arriving at your place just as soon as we can drag Andy away from working on Daisy. Does anyone know if any of the seven wide cabbed Constructors that were supplied to the New Zealand Army under contract no. GHYP5678/089gf/34sg7 in 1958 have survived ?

gritineye Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) It was 1957 actually, sorry to be so pedantic, they can usually be identified by the badly made chain lockers and most had a problem with oil mist blowing out of the breathers beneath the cab.

N.O.S. Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 So was it the Kiwis who pioneered the fad of "super singles" on truck front axles then? (note the use of larger -14x20 - tyres on the front axle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 X 6 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Now, where were we..... oh yes, Scammell Explorers. On this Korean site is BKJ 5T. Do we know this one ? Is it on Gritineye's list of all known Explorers ? Can anyone translate the thirty, or so, comments that have been left at the bottom of the page......... I'd love to know what these Koreans thought of one of Watford's Masterpieces. Are these 'photos already on this thread ? Something familiar about either the Scammell or the location. Obviously, this being the HMVF, I'm not expecting thirty replies but if someone can answer these burning questions I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

gritineye Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Come on young fella, keep awake at the back there! OK, what are you looking at under the desk? It had better not be a mucky Scammell book or I will have to confiscate it and hand it to headmaster NOS for safe keeping! :nono: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=7057&page=76 The owner of that Explorer drove it down from Darby to Bordon just for the day, his name escapes me but he was very enthusiastic and certainly knew how to drive it! In the fourth pic, extreme right, I can be seen Videoing it all for the benefit of HMVF members, just as the mudflap tore off. Something went wrong...
