Adrian's a handy sort of fellow.

I'll do some more research and post as I find. Adrian has converted the motor to Hino power and done considerable machine work, making custom driveline parts.

Saw it at Wagga two or three years ago. We were both on the move, so didn't get a picture, but it took a bit of googling to figure out what it was. Interestingly my neighbour has a 1961 Thornycroft he uses to carry his historic tractors on.

I read a write up about this fellow and his truck, in a tranport newspaper or magazine, a while back.

He has a web site with a little story on each of his toys; https://cobahcastiron.weebly.com
