It was, but it's been replaced with a modern build and Ford Transit mover some years ago. Took all the fun out of it!
awwcrap, did they at least preserve it?
I don't know. I liked the 3/4 scale Matador prime mover best.

I think that was based on either some old Austin, or possibly a LandRover.

Getting back on topic (kinda)...
Sometime in the early '80s (I was living at Rougham at the time) Some truck driver had picked up a load of inert ordnance from someplace to the South (possibly Haverhill) & was headed North through Bury St Edmunds. During the journey North part of the tailgate had collapsed & the driver left a trail of scattered ordnance some 40 miles long. People were finding the stuff for weeks afterwards... I think it was something to do with a museum as they said there were in excess of 60 different types.
