Hi,
I'm still trying to get hold of that 108S, no luck yet, cant find the owner. I think he's hiding from the tax man. :lol:
Took this pic from the road today. If those trees grow any more I wont be able to find the machine either. :lol: :lol:
Fred.

Great to see a pic of a VC 15, took me back to the early 90's when I was working as an apprentice mechanic for the local water board.

We had the contract to repair and service the rivers board equipment, (Dee & Clwyd) they had 3 VC's but sadly little work for them.

They were soon replaced with JCB models

Again, its amazing what turns up on eBay (especially when you aren't looking for it). I was looking for Poclain brochures and this beauty turned up. Certainly a Priestman Mustang, perhaps a 2-18? Fitted with an electro-magnet for scrapyard use, it'd be nice to think it'll end up earning its new owners some cash.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Priestman-Crane-with-Magnet-/160933640940?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Tools_Construction_Tools_ET&hash=item2578647aec

The same seller also has a Case Poclain 1088 rehandler with a high-view cab and a nice looking Yale forklift. Too bad Birmingham isn't closer to me. I'd love to have a look!

Due to the cab design of the Priestman, I'd say its not one of the earlier models (120, 160, etc) but more likely the later ones with the yellow paint scheme 2-1X series?

Best regards

Gavin

Hi Gavin,
The Priestman is a 2-15. The 2-18 and 2-12 weren't available with a two peice boom.
Pictures of the whole range below, even threw in a pic of my 2-11 duck.
