It was yesterday but the only excitement this week was picking up a sankey for a very reasonable fee. It seem's lately that even a complete rust bucket will sell for 150 + quid.

gosh that's an old one, made for a series landrover and no tail gate, how come you didn't go for a mkiii widetrack?

Simply and i don't like to brag it cost me 50 quid and it also has the bowser tank too should i want to carry 100 gallons of whatever about. It's not that old. a little bit of research on the Mil reg number suggest 1982 year.
Sweet price, that's a lot of trailer for 50 notes especially when you compare it to the prices of the junk outside Halifords. Probably made by Sankey too unlike most of the MKIII. What's the bowser made off then? easy to fit?

The Tank is all plastic and has a gate valve on the back this is then connected using a short pipe to the T bar you see on the back. There should be taps on it. Apparently later sankeys have the hole cut out in the back to allow the pipe through.

The only internet piccy i can find is This one The tank sits in a steel frame this then bolted using the lashing eyes to the floor. Rumor has it that the tank will also fit in the back of a landy too.

Tank looks nice and compact with a low profile. Can confirm the tap hole on the mkiii as mine has got one (maybe two) in the bottom of the tailgate with a rotating cover plate.

took dogs the out in the Series 1 up onto the ridgeway. Bit wet - bit windy - lots of fun.   No door tops on the truck, 1 single speed wiper and no heater.

Strange how its (fun) when you don't  have to do it ! but when there is a need to do it ie: for work it becomes a chore.must admit since turning pension age I do enjoy to be cossetted by a near silent cab  squeekes and rattles drive me mad also a multi speed heater system and wipers a must have  oh the joys of youth when I didn't care a hoot about anything other than the fact it had the ability to start and stop. :cool: :smiley: :smiley:

Today new font stand on the sankey as when i got it that was bent, Very bent.
I then beat the front eye back into moving so the brakes now work. just needed lots of wd and a little persuasion from a dead blow mallet. ;)

Oh and picked up the latest arrival my own 80inch CCV trialer. Having run it for the year on a widows behalf i was offered first refusal, I didn't!

Today I mostly decided that when I grow up I want to be a steampunk.

steampunkers ewww they are worse than hipsters. 

In work  we stick the 'steampunk' label on certain stylistic industrial pc equipment when listing for sale on ebay and it therefore sells without fail for ££ more then it would have otherwise.
