    The restoration was being carried out by my father but we lost him to cancer in september we are hoping to continue with the restoration after things return to some sort of normality again probably after christmas . the unipower suffered with poor axles when we ran it and rear halfshafts were impossible to find so dad fitted eaton axles from a thornycroft, ten stud wheels and bigger brakes being the improvements on the old units . Will post some other even rarer unipower pics if anyone is interested ?

    like this unipower hannibal series 12 as featured in maurice sanders book men mud and machines named POGLES WOOD
