Hi Mike
Yes I bought it. Hence my spare axles etc. It was found by a bloke in Surrey, with a tree growing through it. It was just a chassis with running gear and no body or cab. He recovered it with the intension of restoring it. He came and took 100 pictures of mine. He eventually lost interest and sold it to another bloke in Kent, who also intended to restore it. He left it in his Fathers woods for another ten years, from whence I recovered it. By now the chassis was so week it fell apart as we winched it onto a trailer. It was virtually scrap. I cut up the chassis and saved as much as possible. The Gearbox and axles still had oil and still turn. The engine is siezed solid. It only cost me £200 and I manged to restore the starting handle bracket that was missing from mine.
