I knew the owner and thought it was to be restored but no such luck. Interesting headlights on that! Similar to mine when it was first in service: Out of curiosity what is the truck behind that Amazon wrecker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It is a stretched civilian tractor, R.E./R.E.M.E did not run Amazons. I didn't pay attention to the one behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally see the twin rounds and the civvi squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Those headlights don't look original, if you blow the picture up you can see a plate behind the lamp covering a rectangular hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Is it a Crusader or is it the Amazon made into a recovery by Guardian Recovery equipment in Kent? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Sorry, I did not see page 11. The reason why they would have done the headlamp conversion is that for a long time the original Crusader headlamp units were very hard to come by. I think that they were made by Ciebie.

John From memory they were sourced from a car, possibly the Hillman Hunter. Cibie produced a halogen bulbed version of the original sealed beam units making it suitable for 12 and 24v. Definitely an Amazon John, I seem to remember it was one of the last ones to be registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris22 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Does anyone know if the 20 tonne daycab Crusader CL Tractor in RE / army service had a Plumett winch like it's 35 tonne big brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don't think it does because there was no need for it. It was for cargo use not plant or Lt A vehicles. John John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRS91 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The data sheet ive seen for the day cab version was just as a 6X4 tractor unit, no winch. (I believe the data sheet was in this thread somewhere?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
