[Great War truck]

This add was at Great Dorset steam fair. No price though. I hope you can make out the picture as it is a photo of a photo. It seems to be mostly complete except bodywork.

What sort of price were they asking Tim, any ideas, or contact details?

[Great War truck]

Sorry. That is the only info that i have at the moment. I hope to find out more in due course, so will keep you updated.

Ive been looking at this and I dont claim to be an expert but it looks more like a later P26 or P30, the earlier P4 was a lot more "skinnier" bodywise. The tank on top of the engine, is that a fuel tank or coolant tank, was it an optional extra?

 

P4

 

Model 26

 

Model 30

 

You got any contact details yet Tim....?

[Great War truck]

You might well be right. Those are very interesting photographs. Which book is that from?

 

With a bit of luck i will see the dealer on Saturday and find out some more info. Will keep you updated.

Done a search for Ugo Pavesi, came up with an Italian website. Ive only ever seen one book on the Pavesis, that was in Italian so I presume from the same book.

Sorry. The dealer should have been at Beaulieu, but I didnt see him there. So i dont know if it has been sold or what the price was.

There is also the remains of a Pavesi in Denmark, agian the royal Arms museum has it hidden it some where.

Nice to see. it is missing a few crucial bits but still very restorable. Thanks for posting the photos.

Sadly it properly never will be restored, and will stay hidden in some storage barn.

there are some more pictures here under Tøjhusmuseets køretøjer 1992 (The Royal Danish Arsenal Museum 1992)

Quite agree. Without the bodywork you get to see so much more detail. Looks very solid as well, will probably last forever as it is.

Apparently this type of Paves only came out after WW1? Can anyone tell the difference between a military and an agricultural Pavesi? I came across this one, which has a good chassis and transmission, but the engine is smashed. It would be an interesting project, and I am waiting for more pictures before I go and check it out myself as it is not around the corner. Thanks

Any ideas on the asking price?

Not a Pavesi, but a Swedish copy - Artillery tractor m/1928 made by Nohab who used the Pavesi design.
