New Project...
After the heavyweights of the Landrover and the UAZ I thought I needed a new project so I thought I'd down size this time. Sadly I think I must have Australian ancestors. This is the new "baby"
She's a 1957 AEC Militant Mk 1 6x6 10 Tonner - successor to the war-time Matadors See what I mean about the Australian ancestors!!

Re: New Project...

What's up with it to make it a project?

Are you going to post next week saying you have decided to buy a nice sensibe alvis then wait a day or so while people tell you how comfortable they are and how gorgeous they look then post pics of a Stalwart?

She's been laid up for over 3 years. Mechanically spot-on but the bodywork has the dreaded tin worm in a couple of places. If you have a look here:TerryG wrote:Now that looks like the most fun toy i have seen in a really long time!

You can see where the areas of rot are that will need attention. Overall she looks worse than she really is - and inside the load bed is a comms body rigged for living accomodation!!
No - I had a nice sensible Alvis Stalwart Mk 2 - and I absolutley loved it but - it was built in 1969 so it needed the equivalent of a HGV class 2 and I lost my HGV's when an accident in the TA left me with epilepsy. However - if you want a pic of a Stalwart - this was mine when she performed in front of HM The Queen in 2007!!TerryG wrote:Are you going to post next week saying you have decided to buy a nice sensibe alvis then wait a day or so while people tell you how comfortable they are and how gorgeous they look then post pics of a Stalwart?

Latest news is it looks like collection will be scheduled for the 30th April - just waiting for the transport guy to confirm it is OK. Once I know for certain it will be off to the local battery specialist for a pair of type 663s so she can be driven on to the the lowloader and off again.

Bump start - who are you kidding. There's a reason these things have the interstart sockets in the cabs.TerryG wrote:You mean you don't fancy bump starting it?
Although if it weren't for the front tow hitch you would see the handle in the bumper for a starting handle.......
This one will be living out in the country on a farm. Apart from anything else - If I tried to get into my drive with it I would be driving over the parked cars on either side of the very narrow road I live in...GHT wrote:You can have two if you like.

I prefer to live in peace with the neighbours. It's not exactly ten tons.
