Humber Pig Mk1

[da bomb]

For those with the keen eye, the rust on tracks next to the Pig is a Universal carrier, it was in exceptionally bad state, the only parts that looked okay was the suspension, tracks and wheels, the Ford V8 had its heads off to the elements for years and every panel was rotted out the drive shafts had been removed (lost?) so it would roll under a pull, not pretty!!

Amongst other stuff on auction at the Grampian Transport Museum was a 1945 leyland hippo that didnt sell (reserve too high) a 1940 15 Cwt Morris compressor truck (heated bidding!) a number of champs in a very poor state, just twisted bodys, with exception of one with wheels and looked kind of in one piece and a dodge weapons carrier that had a botched cab at some stage and a bedford truck 1940's just a rotten cab and straight chassis.

I personally am interested in the Humber 1 ton 4x4 though, if only i could catch the owner at home!!
