This truck has an interesting history. It was built as a monochrome truck for ABC TV, one of the ITV companies in the UK. When the ITV franchises changed in 1967 it passed to Thames TV who converted it to colour using Marconi MkVII cameras.

Then its history becomes a little less clear. c1986 it was bought by Sony and became one of the first (the first?) HDTV demonstration truck.

It's last owner converted it into a mobile home (RV) and used it for about 25 years. Finally it came to the BECG and will be restored to an OB truck.

A couple of weeks ago a team of us spent a happy weekend stripping out the mobile home to prepare it for restoration. Please see article, photos and video on the BECG website above.

There is a sister truck that is believed to have ended up in a scrapyard in New York where these 2 photos are believed to have been taken.

Is there anyone here at VK who has any information on this truck. Or indeed on GNF951E, the one we are restoring.
