DIAMOND T FOR TWO!

It might look immaculate in the vivid red and yellow livery of owners Statham’s Recovery, and would probably deserve a prize at any show, but this 1943 Diamond T 969 wrecker is rather more than it seems.

Apart from being an exact replica of a long-lost vehicle, the 6x6 Diamond T is ready for use in the fleet of its Dunstable, Bedfordshire-based owners. “It is excellent for many duties, especially getting stranded artics off the road,” said Statham’s managing director John Statham. “People are surprised when the Diamond rolls up but most of them love it when they see its capabilities!”
