fc101daz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi All Anyone know of any Nubian Major 6x6 MK9's for sale? A friend of mine would love to buy one as his Dad used to operate one here at Jersey Airport. Or anyone have information of the one originally from here? It apparently left Jersey in the 80's, but noone knows where it ended up. Regards Daren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from srvicing the WC54, see other post for nightmare! I've also seen the long bonneted Bedford Airport Ambulance a few times running around South London, still in full colours, she looks well. I know the Nubian you menat, they also had the Unimog and the Range Rover's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 thougt I'd add a couple pics of the remains of a 404 unimog , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schliesser92 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 That Mog looks like the civil-defence version. Some were used by the Bundeswehr. It's in a sorry state. Are there plans to refurbish it, or is it just going to rot away?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 the unimog I'm trying to make room for it , I plan on saving it its not to bad but kids have got to the windows , it was lucky because of being semi coverd , there is also a rolling chassis , its open top cab was left outside and was scraped a while back :cry: think that was a 2.2 . the one above is the larger engine 2.6 or 2.8 here's a pic of chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 bit more of early landie fire truck Alan, Bit big for a Land Rover, the engine looks like a Bedford 330 diesel, but I cannot visualise what the vehicle is or was.

Richard Farrant Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I would say it is based on a RL, the instruments are same and it looks to have the High / Low FWD lever behind the gear lever. The engine looks ot be a Bedford 330 diesel, going by the rocker cover and exhaust manifold, other than that, a bit of a mystery. :idea::idea::idea: Just come to me....the chassis is not Bedford, by the back view, I will take a bet that this is Airportable Missile Handling truck, built on a Thornycroft Nubian chassis using RL running gear. circa 1965.

antarmike Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Absolutely not forward Control, engine too far back, wrong engine, front seats too wide. middle seat is a squeeze and almost touches driver seat, All forward control models 2A/2B used something akin to standard bulkhead, wrong steering wheel, gear levers in wrong place, and in wrong relationship to each other....
