Middle machine is the Timoney 8x8 ![[Image: vlcsnap-2015-01-07-12h53m23s61.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3808/vlcsnap-2015-01-07-12h53m23s61.jpg) Front of sister vehicle- ![[Image: vlcsnap-2015-01-07-13h36m46s227.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3808/vlcsnap-2015-01-07-13h36m46s227.jpg) -- Last edit: 2015-01-07 15:13:53 |

Same 3 appliances as featured here , wonder if this was Stansteads full turn out? Believe Gloster Saro were bodywork manufacturers so chassis will be someone elses . Wheels look like a Nubian but they may have called it something else in later days. |

Not a Nubian Chassis either but a Reynolds Boughton 'Taurus' , from Commercial Motor- 'The Javelin is based on the Reynolds Boughton Taurus chassis which has a unique auto transmission built by FiB using Borg Warner clutches. It is said to be simple in construction and was separately tested by the BAA at Borg Warner in the USA.' Read more at Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" This one is a definite Gloster Saro but some are registered as Reynolds Boughton like this one - http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p730558485/h587fb6f2#h587fb6f2 -- Last edit: 2015-01-07 16:55:00 |
