Rick W Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 This could be the truck you are looking for Jack. In the latest issue of Windscreen a Federal truck in Normandy. 600 Euros. The contact man is in Bridport as well. Could be a unique oppurtunity to fulfil your ambition to own an ugly, sorry,classic truck. Not many of these around. You could make it the HMVF project truck?

Jack Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Oh, thanks Rick - like we don't have enough to do already....:n00b: I like the fact that Rick stated "You could make it the HMVF project truck?" sort of takes the pressure off if this project came together..... Many thanks for offering your help Tony - you name is now in my book...:whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Barrell Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's rusty? It's not 'on the button'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's rusty? It's not 'on the button'? Grab a cup of tea Adrian and sit down. Made the call this morning to the gentleman. He is currently in Normandy. The Federal came with its original trailer and was in pretty good condition already. It was owned by to brothers. One wanted to sell it for restoration and one want to just sell it as the place was being developed for housing.. Brother two called the scrapman - scrapman came and cut it up for scrap.............. Gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Jack, Was it the one pictured in the latest MVT Windscreen that came this week? Looked to be a big project for you, been laying around too long, so don't lose sleep over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about it being a big project for me but.....Rick did say that it could be a HMVF project - sort of a group thing....if you know what I mean:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I suspected that was what you were going to say, just didn't want to send any negative waves..... Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I dont believe it! Thats a tragedy. It was the one in Windscreen Richard, but it looked a damn site better than my C8 when I got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thank you for the heads up on that Rick - may be next time...... Have cash. Will travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard you are of course correct, but funny enough with the knowledge and experience here it no longer scares me. This is what I wanted/want to do. Find a project for the winter months and not to concerned how many winters either. I want to write a full blog from start to finish on it to match the standard of Adrians blog on his DT. To share everything the costs, the suppliers, the friends and everything else that has been used to finish the project. In mind at all times to take to the W&P and win a first prize. I like a challange. Best wishes. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Interesting photo that. A head on collision between the two. Strange that the wrecks have been made a monument to the graves. Never seen anything like that before. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
