Alvis & 'Support'
Bush Tucker Man:
I was at Woolley Edge Services on the M1 (between 38 & 39) this afternoon to meet 'Range Rover Blues' (Andy) to 'do a bit of business'
On my arrival, I had some time to kill, so gazed around.
There was a Sagaris on a beaver-tail transporter looking all forlorn
I'd gone in for a Tea whilst waiting.
Andy came in and we had a chat about all sorts of various subjects & their apparant absurdity, modern art, being one :roll: Ie, Tracy Emins 'Unmade Bed'.
We decided it's all utter rubbish!!!
Scammells, AVRoe Vulcans being others
On returning to the vehicles we were just about to go our separate way when I spotted this lovely little plaything.
For the benefit of non-camflague followers, it's an Alvis Scorpion
That's the one with the 4.2 (straight-6) Jaguar engine that will (reputedly) travel at about 50-65mph
We think that it's a display/recruitment model going by the steps also strapped on to it.
The supporting Scammell was a nice rig as well, just the job for Green-Laning :D

And much to my embarrasment, it's a S26. The S24 was a normal control
