Jep, Nigel's book(s) is certainly a must; lots of nice Loyd info...also the odd test vehicles and specials.
Congrats on the purchase of the Loyds....read about it on HMVF. It's well worth coming over the channel....Paul Visser and Dirk Leegwater both have a loyd and live very close to eachother. Alex

Holland
Thanks Guys,
I'll take you up on that offer at some point, next year probably as I've used up virtually all of my holiday this year :-) Can anyone answer my question on what radiator was installed in the Loyd. Book ordered from Amazon as a reasonable price.

Correct
Best way to know, is get the part number from a parts book. It may be a special, but probably only because of the side plates. You have a long way to go, before you need the radiator!. The fan has been discussed on here before. I think its special, because it pushes?

Perhaps my plan is odd... but I am going to strip both wrecks of all parts and take them to the workshop where I will rebuild and store (my Dad is going to cherry pick which assemblies he wants to do and take them back to Birmingham). As the Chassis are quite bad I plan to get some drawings knocked up and have new main rails folded locally, I'll use the bespoke Ford X-members and bespoke Loyd fabricated rear end. Trying to straighten those originals looks virtually impossible, and the rear RHS 1/4 looks to be destroyed by shell fire, there is no rail left at all
