    Shame about the Radiator mate. Sometimes these old girls get a bit embarrassed about being seen . Ive got a couple more to show yet and a similer story Check out my next post.
    So, have you at least given the dozer a run every now and then? Poor old girl. She still looks a treat though 'sept the broken foot ofcourse. Thanks for posting

    That's disappointing, to put it mildly, on a much more modern machine than my old beast!

    Yeah it's a real bummer. This next pic's are of something I would love to have the time and money to fix up and use. It's an Austin Gypsy. Actually quite rare it had a short run I think about 6 or 8 years. This one is ex army and custom body and jib rated to 5,400lb (believe it or not).
    It needs to be stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up
