6 X 6 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm sure the last picture is the militant owned by Charlie from Clitheroe. ( he bought it a few years ago from David Crouch) Thanks, I had been wondering who owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 First glance she doesn't look too bad! I'm guessing a lot more is hidded by the over-growth though. How easy would it be to get her out and is she even for sale?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 She just needs a touch with a pressure washer, to separate the metal from the metal eating vegetation , seems to attract the moss . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 £2250?? Is he out of his mind???? Or have the straps on the strait jacket slipped?? Given the state as described £250 would be nearer the mark!! What a waste - and sad end - of a lovely truck.. :cry: :cry: :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swill1952xs Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The comment.........."A sad end of a lovely truck" just about sums it up. Why do people have to be so bloody minded when selling something as desirable as that. It's worth realistically about five hundred quid, bearing in mind the time it would take to get it out of the woods. He should be grateful that someone wants to take it away and use the parts to keep others alive. What is the point of being so greedy. Maybe that is the reason it's still sitting there. No doubt what's left of it will still be sitting there in another twenty years time. May it rest in peace as a monument to the greed of a small minded seller. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The local councill have the powers to enter private land to remove vehicles they deem to be a hazard or polutant.maybe a call from the local office asking him if he has a waiste disposal licence may prompt him to shift it.Oh dear no licence ,would you like us to remove it for you Sir save prosecution.Its remarkable what a clip board and a white coat gets away with.Mind you its not the rarest truck in town is it.

antarmike Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Forgot to take a picture, but one was (Mk1 / Mk2) on the sawbench at Pickering. After the demo, It lifted the wooden Rack saw, a cast iron saw bench, and the Forson E27N Petrol Paraffin Major, that had been spinning up the Racksaw, with the Hydraulic loader, and stowed the whole lot neatly on the back platform, ready for the nexst outing.
