The MAN HX is on civilian plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean N Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Leyland Martian back end outside W H Orchard metal recyclers on the minor road from Doublebois / Dobwalls to Minions, near Liskeard, Cornwall. It's been there a while as it shows on Streetview images given as August 2022. Looks like a complete back end cut off behind the cab - maybe a source of spares?

Rootes75 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I've got a feeling we've seen this. Many years back we were visiting relatives in Cornwall and were following their car on a daytrip...we passed the Martian and from memory back then (7-8) years I recall it being complete..?

Smithy Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Spotted a nice Land Rover 101 Forward Control Ambulance heading south on the M40 between Oxford and Wycombe on Thursday evening. Typically a lorry passed it just as I was trying to catch the reg! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this to be the one featured here http://anarchadia.blogspot.com/2008/10/vintage-thing-no27-leyland-martian.html?m=1 and in the last few photos here https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/gallery/33-pictures-cornwalls-abandoned-cars-4676845.amp I suspect the front end simply rotted away before being excised.

radiomike7 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Is that a 'potato masher' stick grenade on the armoured car, I understood that only the Germans used them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Bear Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I've no idea - I'm only an amateur at this so my excuse is that I only took the photos! I see what you mean, but it wouldn't have occurred to me to be wrong. Apparently post war it was ex Belgian then French military, I think he said cast 1990 if I understood the time line. I kept looking at the Jeep thinking something didn't look right but couldn't pin it down until I compared it with Simon's previous post... then it was obvious. I don't know who any of the owners/drivers were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, and you are right. AFAIK Americans didn't make these, looted I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I saw a Home Guard Austin 7 on the A337 heading towards Lymington and Beaulieu on Friday. It would be good if they had a Trucks and Troops event there again, that existed from about 2005, organised by Andy Jones.

The Austin 7 is from that part of the world, I recall an interesting chat with its owner at the Castletown D Day centre open day event down in Weymouth a couple months back.

Big D Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Saw this interesting Humber Pig with the turret at a local shooting range here. The owner has several MVs parked there. This Humber looks to be in pretty rough shape, but there is another one on the property which is white and has old Palm Springs PD markings on it.

Hair Bear Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Looks like it, they just panned the camera around and it was there and gone. The street view pic dated 2021 appears as if it has been roughly sanded and in a different location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
