Not withstanding this, there is still loads of rare trucks that never get seen these days, and I'm not sure I agree with you McSpool on this one. I don't thing they have gone back to the dirt but have been spirited away to private collections in heated sheds all over Europe.

Pete, I agree many have been hidden away from public views in private collections, but still I think more than you would dare to think have deteriorated because of lack of proper storage and care.

Here's an example: this 1941 Bedford QL fuel bowser reportedly featured in the 1969 movie "Battle of Britain". It now looks decidedly worse for wear, and it's current owner had to buy it a few months ago at a farm auction to stop it being broken up and scrapped . It's now looking for a good home, and can be had for a mere £500. If you know anyone who is interested see Historic Military Vehicle Forum Forum > 1941 Bedford QL fuel bowser for more details.
