Thumbs up What's this

Mike

Love the tyres 750-20 N/D?, I agree with Richard looks very M-C CDF to me.

What a lovely truck got any more pics?

Pete,
I note your comment on the 750-20 tyres, are you looking for some? For a Retriever maybe?

I have two brand new ones, if you are interested.

Yes and Yes, how perceptive of you, I'm just gearing that project up again. How much did you have in mind? could I pick them up at Beltring?

Pete,
Give me a call, Dinger has my number, to save putting it on here. No problem bringing to Beltring either.

Default CDF

Mike

I know Denis Watts, he lives in the next county to me. He has a number of M-Cs. He is partly responsible for us now owning a WK60, he put us onto the truck about 12 years ago. If that's his CDF I repaired the wings some years ago although I have never seen the trucks.

Small world, you post a picture all the way from Aus that shows a truck 20 miles from me that I have done work on but never seen the power of the net !!!

Red face 750-20 tyres

Richard

The thought of all that new N/D rubber must have gone to my head !!.
I need 900-20's for the Retriever, sorry my mistake but thanks for the offer, perhaps Denis Watts would want them?, I did have his number I'll see if I can look it up if you like.

Pete

I recently acquired this truc from Mr Watts along with his CDSW and am hoping to have them both back on the road very soon. Anyone else out there with CDSW or CDFW?

Best regards

Way to go Tobin!!

You gotta love the internet. Five years between posts and a fairly new member is going to get a couple of more vehicles on the road.

Maybe, just maybe because he discovered them on this or a similar forum.

I really like the look of those Morris vehicles, Tobin, please keep us apprised of your progress.

Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill,

Many thanks. They are rolling up next week and I will post some pictures. I did not find the vehicles on the site but there were some pictures of the SW here until recently. I cannot find them now though!

Best regards

Tobin
