Smile C15 Ta

Thanks for fast reply,no. I found ours in a yard,just dumped! It had been made to a wrecker by the British army,then used as a logging truck in Wales. After that a lorry driver bought it as he thought it was a Humber Pig!!! Then just dumped and left for 20 years.


Regards Pete

Pete,

Post a few pics, will you please?
Some of the guys on this forum who own one might feel sorry for you and lend a hand getting it back on the road.

Regards,
Hanno

no, the one shown is my Dads,up in scotland. We also have the rear panels and floor missing, as it was used for forestry type work. Sizes for panels would benefit us too.
