wuvvum Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Are those two trucks in the 9th pic from the top LIAZ's? Or are they just old Saviems? They look vaguely familiar, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Are those two trucks in the 9th pic from the top LIAZ's? Or are they just old Saviems? They look vaguely familiar, anyway...WOW What a find Samage! Those look like Fiat/Ivecos to me Wuvvum The 'W' reg truck alongside is a DAF.The older wagons with missing grilles are AEC's dating from the late 50's to early 60's, and the crane is a real rarity called a 'Clansman' and based on an Albion Chieftain which is of the same vintage as the AEC's. Theres an old breakers yard near me who still use one of those cranes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDamaged Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 The two trucks next to the DAF are Magirus Deutz's....mid-late '80's at a guess, Iveco bought them out just before it bought Ford Trucks, I remember the air-cooled V8 Magirus-cabbed Iveco was the first tractor unit sold in the UK to top the 500bhp mark, before even Scania could get it's iconic V8 past 450 horses. They rusted like you would not believe though.Glad BS6 has correctly identified that crane, i thought it was a Hydrocon but I was wronger than your mum in a thong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rusted like you would not believe though.Thanks for clearing that up. Don't know why I thought they were LIAZ - what would a pair of LIAZ be doing in an English scrapyard? There's a chap near Great Yarmouth trying to sell a Magirus Deutz recovery truck at the moment, but it's the 7.5-tonne version with the Iveco Zeta-style cab. I was tempted, but he won't go below 500 squid and the clutch is fcuked, and I wouldn't have a clue how to do a clutch on something like that. I do like the noise those old air-cooled diesels make though - my second-favourite commercial engine sound after the two-stroke Commers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianDamaged Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 That is one nice Air-Portable Landy! IMHO they always look good with a civvy hard-top on them. I had a '74 with a late 2.5 petrol in it and Range-Rover diffs, would sit at 70-75 on the motorway all day if your ears (and wallet!) could stand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samage Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Oh, not enough for y'all?  Fine, here's some more.   Primer splattered Rocco (can't see it well from this angle, but there was a massive primer blob on the door):   VW Camper, with questionable colour coding application:   Old Starlet - not a fan of Japanese stuff, but I know some of you are:   MGB, with amusing sticker:    And now time for my special move.....  TOTALLY MINT OLD-PERSON OWNED 2-TONE TALBOT SOLARA WITH UGLY WHEELS, PARKED OUTSIDE THE LINES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samage Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaarkinell, it's been a while! Well, I've returned from the ether, and I bring more classics/shonky stuff. P6, one owner from new, variously faded panels:  Extremely dead MGB:  Capri on slotmags:  Minor - OK so it's a "popular classic", but it's faded all over and has moss on it. Whilst still in daily use. That warrants a place here, methinks!  Two-Cee-Vee. Again, bordering on popular, but what the hey:  Super clean Scimmy:  Beford CF pikeywagon:  And a classy old Beemer to finish.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Not so long ago there were more MkI 7 Series around than MkI 6 Series because the 6 was more exclusive but they were also sold about 4 years longer & have been more highly regarded & looked after as a 'classic' therefore there are more Sixes around than Sevens now.....Is there any way to change or modify your username?
