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.

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.

Just being nosey, but do you have another name? I've spoken in the past a number of time to a peter from liverpool who had a TA found in wales, would that be you are are there two of you? I have a vague idea he had a halftrack and a tilly, but then I may just be making it all up!

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.

if anyone gets the panel info, please could they pass it on to us? cheers....
