Grasshopper Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I was driving through Brixton last night around 1845 hrs when I saw a very nice (shiny) low loader rig. Thought "that would be perfect for shifting tanks", only to discover that it had what appeared to be a CVRT Spartan on the back! Anybody here been defying the credit crunch and bought one? Lord Burley? It did seem a bit tatty, and being on a civvy rig, I expect it is in private hands, given the TA bases in London don't have tracked armour.

Tony B Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Did it have alloy wheels? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince whereabouts in Brixton was it?.I have seen a few CVRT,s and some Snatch and Vector vehicles on the back of civilian contracted low-loaders passing through. Or it could have been used as part of a promotion for the Brixton Academy.They have had a few military vehicles outside on concert nights displaying the band on that night.Vehicles in the past have included Hummers,Ferrets,101s,and Volvo Sugga,s.In fact last night at the rear of the venue was a nicely converted 101 ambulance being used as a mobile VT room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 It was going passed the tube station heading towards Strea(th)am (I'm from there, thats how we say it). Didn't get a good look as I was admiring the truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Our Scorpion is a proper Croydon motor at the moment- up on blocks with all the alloy wheels missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
