It's not a Zuk and it'll be in the £10,000s to do.

It's a 1970 something ERF with an old Gardiner power plant. In almost 6 years of working here i'd never been down that side of the warehouse. Went down to get a dumper this morning and there is was almost complete.

Theres even spare cabs and all sorts of bits lying about for it. When my numbers come up!

Yeah theres at least one spare cab. I knew he had all kindsa bits lying around in the yard and warehouse but it was quite a surprise to find a complete tractor unit.

Unfortunately space and money are my downfall on this one.

That's cool. Big old engine like that would be good fun to get running I think.

We move anything. Tautliners, flats, 3 & 4 & 5 axles steps. 2 low loaders. Move A LOT of crane gear, plant & machinery. Lots of Cat dumpers. Steel, anything anywhere.

All good fun.

I'd love to Scottie. Don't think my boss would be too pleased. Where i was stood is the overflow dumper parking.

Soon as i win the lottery and buy myself a commercial workshop i'm having it!

Needs loads of work but with something so old just having it almost complete is half the battle. I'd love to have something like that restored to do the shows with. I enquired how much and he looked at me as if i was daft. Then i told him i'd just put £2k into the Zuk and he looked at me like i was insane.

It's been sat god knows how long so i can't see it going anywhere in a rush.
