55bloke Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Actually, it was the Pickering Steam Fair, which is a truly wonderful event for those of us with a love of old machinery- about 4 or 5 fields full of virtually every type of old, wheeled conveyance imaginable. The classic car section conained some gems, but I'll TRY and keep the pics limited to the particularly unusual or interesting!! There was a massive fun-fair as well as the vehicles and, as usual, there was a bunch of interesting old commercials associated with the fair-ground folk.Bedford TKs, I think.Big YankMk 1 Tranny. Slightly worried about what the chap standing behind it is up to!!!MazdaNot sure'nother TrannyInteresting Moggy pick-upOld Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michiel Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oh my Gooooood, a Janus!!!The other thing's basically an Isar T700 I think...(edit: cock! apparently they were Goggomobil at first, then later Glas Isar to distinguish them from the microcars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g29/55bloke/IMG_6362.jpg I think that the mystery vehicle is a Douglas Timber Tractor, which is IIRC is based on an AEC truck, but 4WD and with a socking great winch on the back. I just love that car transporter with load, fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 'nother Tranny Wow. That has to be the earliest diesel Transit I've ever seen. Wonder if it still has its Perkins 4.108? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2driver Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 At the risk of being microcar anorak of the day, the Janus is a Zundapp, made between '57 and '58 and the Glas Isar T700 was badged as the royal for the British market. Wonder how many they sold. Just this one? And why does the bloke in the trannie look so bloody miserable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_E23 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The Bubblecar Museum at Cranwell has a Zundapp Janus which I was absolutely captivated by when I visited recently. Sadly it was in pretty poor shape.I subsequently found the website of a Microcar museum in America which also has a Zundapp, with a brief history - and it looks virtually identical to the one you've spotted! What are the chances of that, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 GREAT idea! Just what I need to transport my fleet around. May we use these on the 1100 Club website < http://www.the1100club.com/ > please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm wondering if it'd be worth finding a transporter like that and using it to store the fleet on the road without needing to tax them. Just tax the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead_E23 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think it'd be exempt from the London pollution zone too. Winner all round! Surely only if it was petrol engined, though?

The LEZ seems to include pretty much anything diesel and commercial - from 2010 even Land Rovers are verboten, excepting station wagons.Just had a look at the TFL website: "Exemptions The following vehicles are automatically exempt from the LEZ if registered in Great Britain. These will not need to be registered with TfL and are not subject to the daily charge: * Vehicles designed and built for mainly off-road use, but which may be used on the road for limited purposes, including: - Agricultural and forestry tractors - Mowing machines - Agricultural and farm machinery and equipment - Mobile cranes - Road and building construction machinery * Historic vehicles (built before 1 January 1973) * Military vehicles " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55bloke Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Finally, just a couple of Veedubs spotted recently, which I felt worth including, though they weren't at this show. Surely the rattiest of the rat look?I just liked this one, spotted at Rother Valley. Trying hard to be cool, but somehow not quite making it!

r.welfare Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Aye. Olds and Buick went with steroid-ridden-Chrysler-Alpine-esque style for their midsizers in 78 and 79 - sales dropped to zero so they went back to formal saloons for the early 80s. Think Buford T Justice's wheels in Smokey & The Bandit 3 and you'll be on the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
