Another uncommon vehicle that I owned and restored back in the early 1980's, a Ford WOT3D Tructor. It's previous history was a real mystery. When sanding back the paint there were three different colour schemes and markings. The top coat was the usual dark military green. The next coat was German grey with the black cross on the doors. The bottom coat was RAF blue. There were two suggestions, it had either been captured at some time like Dunkirk etc, and utilised as a Beut vehicle by the Germans, or it had merely been painted for a film part (being an unusual and not readily recognisable vehicle by most). Most memorable was the drive to a show in Leopoldsburg Belgium from my home in Essex, at it's slow speed and a great cost in fuel. Older members of the group may remember me with the WOT and the lovely singer 'Toyah' in the show 'Game For A Laugh' on TV.
