I took these photos about 5 or 6 years ago on a drive round Scotland - hope somebody likes them :mrgreen:

Anyone know what the 3 stud rims/hubs are from on the Cuthbertson conversion? Have an old boat trailer with what I'm sure are the same.

The bloke I bought my 80" from had these two stood in his yard, this was 2008.

As Tayne says they both went overseas, the Cuthbertson was well rough up close and the diesel motor was knackered.

In the comments on the flickr video, it's mentioned that they're Dunlop 19" sidecar wheels - I reckon they look more like car wheels, say from a Ford Pop. It would make sense, there would've been loads of them lying in scrap yards at the time.

And if I'm looking at the two sets of pics of the Cuthbertson right, it was a spine chassis which the original Landy ladder chassis sat on top of?

It's been the best part of a year since I was last up that way, and I didn't spot the big AEC wrecker then. Has it gone too?

Is the Roadless Traction one of those portal axle type things? Also very interesting to me, from an engineering perspective.

Dunlop 'Animal Drawn Vehicle' tyres were on the rims when i got the trailer. They had carried quite a load, massive heavy trailer and heavyish wooden boat. From the 1950s.
