We were hoping to get her to WAP but, I've not booked her in, obviously the haulage cost from Cambridge and I'm now having Clutch issues.. I will be there in person for a day..

Yes. She is still on the Continental 8.2 petrol engine.

We did 100 miles on 30 Gallons of Petrol. 3.3 mpg.. I paced her at 40 mph.. Pretty good for a 1943 Wrecker.

Wicksteed at war

Yes mate. I will gladly be posting pictures of our adventures.. Our next show is at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. its one of their biggest events and a ticket only weekend. It's their "American Air Display" http://www.iwm.org.uk/events/iwm-duxford/airshows/2016/the-american-air-show

hi mate, hopefully we have located a Whiffle Tree and it should be on it's way by now.. Our Steering has a little play but not excessive. Good luck with yours. I am now trying to locate the A bar that lives on the back of the crane.

she is very slow, I can only compare it with a Matador timber crane. They are both about the same performance and gear box's are hard. I guess that's down to me to get use to. The steering is very heavy and with hardy any lock, I have to make a lot of shunts. The front wheel studs are extra...

Hi mate, I can't take the credit for the restoration on this one. She is still pretty much how we got her. she seems to have had an easy life. We have a few small jobs to do but that's the fun of owning an old vehicle.

Ask away mate, if I can help in any way, then I will. I am off work this week, but I'll do my best.

Hi, yes she still runs on her original Continental petrol engine. A lot of people change them for diesel's but we like to keep original. Ours is pretty much complete. We have the original canvas doors as well. She is very low mileage. On the front bumper says about traffic recovery so I guess...

Hi mate, I have been looking into getting our Ward to the War and Peace revival. The issue we are having at the moment is the cost of Haulage.. Our Ward is original with the Continental Petrol engine at 4 mpg ish so we could not afford to drive her there.. We are not ruling it out yet. I will...
