Do not watch this

[Keith Webb]

Another C60L at the start of it's journey to China.

Same warning applies.

A very rusty C60S tipper gets the treatment.

Hmmm.... the practice of burning the remains/tyres is a definite no-no!!!! Must have been in the bush somewhere.....

Glad to hear some were saved for restorers, anyway.

The awesome power of machinery. And that is not a big one.

Don't think the owner of the Humber will be too impressed.

Why is it that when you are told not to do something you go ahead and do it? Now I will probably cry myself to sleep tonight

Well you can't say I didn't warn you!

And to Richard... yes I was a bit surprised at the somewhat reckless use of the Komatsu too... but it looks like there wasn't a whole lot holding the rear body together though. I wonder whether a 'Blitz bruise' is worse than 'Bulldozer rash'.

Yes I had to break the news gently to Dave! However he's not too fussed as the rear body is beyond salvage apart from a few fittings. Hoping to recover it next weekend.

Keith,

did the 12cab get the same treatment? I hope it was among the vehicles that were saved(?)

Did anyone else notice the Bren carrier track winch hanging from the rear of the tipper?

I'm in Seymour, where is it going?

Hi Easo,

I'd need to get permission from the buyer to identify him here, and I imagine he'd like to know who is enquiring. I don't know anyone named Easo so I'm unable to tell him!

Cheers,
Tony

D'oh!

Sorry Euan, I had a good look through the stuff in that tipper, which included three rusty flathead blocks and miscellaneous engine parts, but I've never even heard of a Bren carrier track winch, let alone seen a picture of one! It doesn't look "vehicular" to me, so I probably dismissed it as yet another piece of industrial or farm machinery.

By way of background for others here - access to this property has been extremely difficult to arrange, requiring the son to take time off work as his elderly mother now lives alone there. The task fell to me as I'm not working and I live out that way. My "inspection" consisted of running around taking as many photos as possible in the brief time allotted, and circulating them subsequently to prospective buyers. A handful of vehicles were identified as "keepers", with the rest to be stripped of useful parts. However, despite my numerous attempts to arrange access for parts salvage, it wasn't given until commencement of scrapping. Unfortunately one of the photos that didn't get circulated was this one:
