Commer HGV Flat Bed

Bit of beast. I could do with one of these to collect my van next time the engine blows up.

The stone is not for sale though.... I wonder if its precious?

Great looking lorry, something timeless about it. I hope it is precious.

It's not really a beast unless it has the commer TS3 supercharged 3 Cylinder Two stroke diesel in it.

There is an Artic version of one of those in a barn a few miles from here.............now that's a beast.

When I was a kid I would hear these trucks roaring through the town, and wanted one. I ended up with a Karrier Bantam with a little 4 cylinder n/a Perkins in it. Oh well!

what about this then Colin. Plus its got the engine (or most of it anyway).

Now this one could become a beast.

They are nice, aren't they. But not for me. Besides which, I've handed in my HGV licence, so it's 7.5tonnes max now.

Hmmm if I had deep pockets, time and space. It was not long ago that the Ecurie Ecosse race transporter sold for 1.6 million. Granted it had pedigree but I reckon by taking this TS3 and buliding an Ecurie Ecosse replica you'd be on to a winner.
