This one sounds like it'll be your most character building missions ever! Forget all your globe trotting for tat, towing stuff for thousands of miles - just this pop over to the IOW 30 miles away will do it!You might be right -I prefer the A frame -but all 4 wheels have to roll and the handbrakes been on for at least 15 years! Its on the front wheels -and 'cos its an early one -the whole hub has to come off. Likelihood of that happening -sitting in a very overgrown back garden? And having looked it up on Google Earth -yes I could actually find it -its over 100 yards down a long garden ,facing the wrong way. Lawks!

that took some 3 hours to release- handbrake on for 15 years doesnt help.
Twas fun towing onto the boat -lots of interesting comments and gawping, and the M27/A27 had to be covered in darkness; but -its home now -and destined to convert my van to tax free rhd -plus lots of lovely period bits for the pickup, plenty of spares and enough in it to cover its costs to other Esty owners.
So -all in -jobs a good un!

Mouseflakes can take the credit for uniting us with wuvvum, & I'll take the credit for uniting us with Nigel.Difficult to believe this forum used to exist without you and Wuvvum. Are there any other people in this country who would undertake quite such heroic missions?

Anyway -interior stripped- it'll be a pickup by mid week (save windows in case I want to convert mine to a 'van', and the roof is sold...Dash and mph speedo, steering and pedals to rhd mine, and apart from a few proprietory spares- time to weigh in. That WILL be an interesting tow!!

It appears this one is used to hold the sawdust gathered by the extractor on some wood-shed thing. Look at those scaffold poles holding the doors shut against the pressure of the wood chips!!
