Have posted this on the other KW thread.
Is this the K100 that is mentioned at the beginning of this thread.
Found it in an old T&D magazine
Interesting that it was running super singles in 1985,or is it one of those very close coupled French thingies?

If you mean super singles on the trailer, that was common in 1985 all ours ran on them.
Back in 1985 I was lucky if it didn’t have split rim 1000x20’s.

Thats my old man driving it to have it tested in Calne.
the picture of it green is when spencers ran it. he bought it from them in green and sprayed it. Any idea who owns it now or contact info for anyone who might be able to help find it would be much appreciated.
Cheers RoyHi Roy, sorry for the late reply, but it’s long since I have been here.
I have owned it, but sold it last year to a Dutch man who had a more recent K100 for daily work. He was looking for an older one for show, and as I didn’t have any technical skills, nor the tools, nor the place to work on it, I thought it was in better hands being restored than just standing in a shed.
I saw the man back a couple of months ago, and he told me had started stripping the KW, but there was too much work on it, so he sold it on to a friend of him, it’s painted in yellow now. I probably will see him back in a couple of months, then I will ask more.
Hi, Thats a shame. what needed doin to it?
Would like to find out more about it and would possible be interested in buying it back. I have been shown a picture of it in the yellow it has been painted. From the pictures i saw earlier it didnt look like the paint job we had done was in bad condition?

If you had to spend time in them to earn a living you would know what im talking about.Junk!!!.
I found this the other day… I only had a minute to take a couple of pics with my phone. No reg plates and no ID that I could find quickly ( I didn’t have a clue where the chassis number might be…). She looks a little shabby but apparently all the bits that aren’t bolted to the chassis are in a shed…
I don’t suppose anyone recognises her from these pics? The blue looks very much like the colour of the British Aerospace ones…

hi piston broke,
cool pictures,where did you see this aerodyne? or can you not tell us 
thanks for posting 
.
regards andrew.
What part of the world did you find this in?, no need to name the street.
Chris Johnson from Lincolnshire had a flat roof in that shade of blue, as was the rest of his fleet, that was on Moroccan work for John Manns. It’s a long shot but I remember the driver saying that he was looking for an aerodyne to go on it.
Cheers

Hi Andrew and Neilf
I had to go to someone’s yard the other day with the guy I was working with and in the corner was this sorry looking specimen…
It’s near me - Bristol area - I don’t want to give too much away at the mo for obvious reasons! It is for sale but allegedly the owner is a bit of a ■■■ and is liable to just let it rot if he doesn’t get a good price for her. All the bits are stored in a shed - which is good - but then he leaves the bloody windows open…! From memory, the driveline is complete and still in the chassis, wheels are missing and there doesn’t appear to be much, if any rot. Chassis especially seems to be good but, as I say, I only had a couple of minutes…
There is a fair chance I could find out some more details about her but any more than that would have to be serious enquiries only, even then I’m not sure how far you would get…
I’m quite interested in the history of her myself, so I will put some feelers out… 
Swiss reg’ I know but still worth a look!

Sorry but I just don’t get people like this 
He owns a wagon that he must know to be very rare now, by the looks of things he has no intention of doing anything with it, but rather than sell it he would rather let it crumble into a pile of rust 
I know a bloke not far from me, runs a big business, fascinating yard to go to with all kinds of stuff, he has 2 old ERF tractors, I would willingly have 1 of them myself to do up, but will he sell them to anyone? You got more chance of having a all night session with Catherine Zeta Jones 
. He admits he doesn’t want them & has no interest in them at all, but no, lets just let them rot rather than let someone else have the pleasure of doing them up & then other’s seeing them

Ok then heres a few more,these are what became of some of the Whitwills ones.
FHT had a stint on British Aerospace
She grew another axle and went to school
