my Mk3 lwb Stumpy

My little Scamp recovery truck :-)

Looking really good. I might have to pop round sometime to have a look. I like you're spare wheel mount I may have to steal that idea

From what ive read.that was a "factory" option! I do love it though

Tony was SO worried when he first saw Stumpy on ebay - He thought I had decided I had had enough of him spending money on Taz and had decided to sell him... As if...!

Oh bless him! Im assume hes recovered now lol. Cant wait to meet you guys and get a pic of the boys side by side

Ahhhh that would be cute!!!! You are clearly of the correct mentality for the club Welcome.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Will be on Turkey run in December all being well, Leicestershire green laning weekend, and definately at Hastings at end of May - may well make other things between them.
(Taz is awaiting a new starter motor at present -and a bit of welding to reattach the back bumper after being pulled out of mud by it at Stourport!)
See you soon.

Yes I am as nutty as a fruitcake and twice as tasty

Poor Taz! Stumpy is awaiting some essential indicator repair which would be doubley easy if someone hadnt pop riveted the dash in!

Just walked past stumpy on our way to the park looks even better in the flesh

Cheers mate! Couple of tatty bits of paint to sort but the canvas is in beautiful condition dont you think?

Yes it is very good. I think the paint looks better then it does in the pics

I still think he was a good buy despite a few issues

It's been a while since I posted any new stuff about Stumpy so here goes....

Took Stumpy on the Donut Run which is a LSMOC only L2B in December

There he is on Madiera Drive with Colin the orange Mini

Sadly this trip was the death of his 998 so a new engine was found

Had to get this strange looking fella out of the engine bay first!

After a fair amount of cleaning



as the engine had been sat for 10 years, it all went in and was ready to rock. Nice simple 1275 engine slightly oversize valves and it runs very nicely

I found a nice length of angled polished steel and fabricated a grille to replace the rather uninspiring thin green bars


and made up a smaller "Scamp" grille badge to go on the back

along with half a Morris 1300 Mk 3 badge


Watch this space for more pics of new additions coming soon

Good work 

Cheers Fella

Looking good! - Like the pictures on your other thread too. Hope Taz and Stumpy get to meet up soon! (Taz also has a silver grill!)

Me too! Hoping to make it to at least 1 day of the Hastings bash!! Are you guys going?

We certainly are! We have booked in Sat-Tues. Looking forward to it. It was fantastic last year.

About time. Good work

You can talk Mr. B! Where are all your new photos then????

Hmm due to sheer laziness there all on facebook

well you said it mate lol! Mr Wezgit is requesting articles for the scamp mag again, I'd like to do another one so maybe we could arrange a scamping session to give me some inspirsation?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Go and try those lanes again after they have been rained on

awesome might have to grease the winch first! went to use it to straighten the marinas front end and the bloody thing was ceased

Doh. Best get it fixed and we shall try it out
