Here are some more pics.
John has taken on yet another amazing project. The vehicle had been "banked" meaning it had a brake failure and was run into a bank to save it resulting in the distortion of the cab and radiator. John is rebuilding it in it's current modified form fitted with a large winch on the back and dual steering.
It's Hercules engine is being rebuilt, having new valves made for it - also having one cylinder sleeved.
Can anyone provide any photographs of this rare and interesting vehicle in use?
PS Chris found it a little heavy to fit in his backpack.
