Sterling 6x4 wrecker
The orange one pictured was one of a pair used commercially up to the late 70's/'80's in Jersey . The sister truck is now under it's own steam and is about to be shipped for restoration to original USN condition.
2 years ago, having not been fired up for over 18 years, it was unsiezed, dusted off and pulled into life after three days of wrenching. I hope to post some pics soon of the next step.

Cool pics.
I just got back from getting the HCS330 moving again - now headed for total resto.
I believe its' rating is 15 ton.

It has WA plates. Hmmm.
So how many of those "dragon wagons" were let out? Do they come up for sale often?

"Dragon Wagons" Are we still talking about wreckers or the M26 Pacific and M15 Freuhauf trailer which was "The" M25 Dragon wagon?..
