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. Ron

Just had a look myself. Yes, the pictures are gone. But if you click on "Museum Photo Gallery" you will see the explanation: Quote:

Hi Les.
I'm sure your first image is in fact the one in the Victory Museum in Indiana. It has the 900x16 tyres fitted as has mine. The original tyres are slightly smaller with a finer tread pattern as in your second image. And strangely they are 925x16. Ron
