Future for the Alvis Stalwart’s… 

It's the whole row of adjustable spanners that tickled me 😂

Just the sound of that brings back memories of serving in Germany in the late 79s early 80s, sadly not driving them. My worse memory of them was loading them during a “Active Edge” call out (rehearsal for actions to be carried out if the Russians kicked off). If you were volunteered ☹️ for the fuel party you’d be driven to the huge bulk fuel dump where you’d spend the next few hours loading these things by hand with hundreds of Jerry cans, by the time you’d loaded them & driven out to your holding area if you were lucky the exercise would have ended, if not you’d unload them & camouflage the bloody things, you’d drag your heels on this because you know the exercise will end soon, when Endex was called, we load them back up, drive back to the dump & reverse the motion, no need for pumping irin in the gym after that day!! It was a blessing that near the end of tour many of them were fitted with bulk fuel pods, we were so chuffed & it made in the field replen so much easier!! Good work guys.

Every time I see Ted, I just wanna give him a huge hug… He looks like such a sweet boy.

What a shame/smiley face, they are going to be restored! Just a pity Joe has so much on his plate. Thanks for all the fun we've had with them. Most important, thank you Joe for saving them in the first place! I agree with you closing statement too!!!

Your can do attitude and banter is to be commended as always lads, the Ted cameo at the start was an added bonus... top bombing

I've loved Stollies ever since seeing one being restored on 'Salvage Squad' over 20 years ago. You did your best with these and I hope the new owner restores them fully.

Absolutely love this channel!! So glad WhistlinDiesel put me on to you guys when he bought his tank!

If you’ve missed previous episodes, here’s a quick catch-up: Joe: “Adam, don’t do ________” Adam immediately does ________. (Insert anything in the blank)

There’s an awful lot of horse noises coming from Joe, but that just means he’s happy…. :) :) Both yesterday’s ‘Ted’s Bentley’ and today’s ‘Stolly Of The 7th Wind’ are both great examples of RU-vidmanship. Well done all, as ever!!

Top man for getting it semi functional before it goes to the next owner. Ben seems like a thoroughly nice chap so best of luck to him. ❤

The Stalwart truck! 😊 after the Centurion tank it's my favourite vehicle of all time ⏰ 🎉

Sad to see the Stolly go, you've had some fun in that.

I remember back as a mechanic in the 80’s we used to say ,pass us a nut buggerer .you knew we meant an adjustable spanner .or in the trade they were called a “universal nut buggerer”😂👍

The Stalwart brings back memories of the one we had in 1971 at RAF Gan in the Maldives, which was run by the Marine Craft Unit around the lagoon.

I must say you guys always bring a smile to my face with your banter. Love this channel. ❤

Great looking vehicles from a great British manufacturer.

I remember buying a Gunsons Eezibleed 40 years ago, it fitted everything from my golf, to Commer walkthroughs, Bedford TKs, RLs, good bit of kit.👌👍

love Adams sense of humour - every time you say don't he does - can we get him a big Red Button, that says don't press, and maybe shock him

Man Ted really puts in a lot of work, deserves a raise

I suppose, having no steel in any horizontal plane makes dropping tools much easier to recover. Sad to see them go but what a load of fun good stuff lads

Living the best life guys, living the best life.

Glad to hear they are going to a good home.

You're causing me to go home from work early with your uploads 🤌🤌🤌

That engine sounds insane! Well done!

I’m gutted you are not bringing one of them back to factory fresh. I’ll have to watch Ben's channel.

It will be great to see them both back fully together and running

Man i bet the alvis can go just about any where being a 6×6. It's my favorite truck on the channel.

epic as always , slightly worried that Bentley owner ship might have made you all posh , good luck to Ben with the stolly's , keep up the great filming Ted

Thanks for the update lads very much appreciated 😊😊😊😊🔧🛠️🇬🇧🇬🇧

I wish I was Ben I’d love two stollies such a wonderful purposeful motor always loved the stollies but you need big pockets I hope ben sorts them can’t wait to see these done

Another great SHOW! Much enjoyed!

I was a little guy (160cm) in the engine rooms of big ships. From carrier to cruiser. The sound of true quality machinery is the melody of the few. Thanks for sharing the music.

Having ridden 1960's Triumphs for many years, I got a chuckle from all your Smith's guages comments. Cheers from Canada

Happy days! - I remember going round farms getting telescopic loaders, and tractors running when the diesel had turned to jelly. - Metal isn't fun to be around when it's cool. Didn't Adam deserve a biscuit? He'd work better with one, or even two. I hope the new owner of the Stallys has time, patience, and likes repairing, or adding metalwork. The runners appears to be basically a good machine. 👍😃👍

One thing you guys can guarantee; things are always unpredictable but the improvisation to fix is very entertaining to us all. Being ex Rough Eng made Easy myself brings back memories of mud, snow and permanently wet and cold but getting the job done. Keep up the good work. 😎

I know these are reminders of war etc. but I wish you could find stuff like this in America.

I'll watch Ben with these , be interesting to see the progress I just love to see presivation of older vehicles top people !

It’s great to watch English engineers tinkering with toys RU-vid is full of American stuff. Your just what I’ve been looking for 👍🇬🇧

Mr Dunstans gonna have his hands full with theses gems😂 another quality vid, thanks for the laughs.

Thank you very much for the video. 🇸🇯👍

Love the pops n bangs remap on the stolly 👌

The old B81 pops and farts like a 2 Bob rocket. Once saw one fitted in a Dennis fire engine split the front mounted transverse exhaust clean in two because it had pumped so much petrol into it.

Fantastic video as always chaps. 😊

Adam always has that cheeky smile, he reminds me of someone i knew back when i was in Gan 1973.

Love the way the spanner’s slid down the middle when you started moving hope you found them easy 😅

Cessna 152 Slowly pull the primer knob all the way out, and allow the primer to fill with fuel drawn from the fuel sump. Slowly push the primer knob all the way in to force fuel through small fuel lines and special nozzles that create a fine mist as it is injected directly into the engine cylinders or induction manifold. Stolly, a little more complex to prime.

‘Anyone that sells vehicles with no batteries and no fuel is a wanker’ is by far the most accurate sentence I’ve heard today. Bob on is that 🤣

Please restore this beast 🙏

Oh how I wish I had known about back bleeding when I owned Older Landrovers many years ago, bleeding the brakes on them was a Royal pain.

Flames 🔥 got to love a stolly

Brings back old memories 4RTR MT troop Check the air filters,they are oiled cleaned,use the right oil

That 'reverse bleed' with an oil can is how we used to bleed Scania clutches after a clutch change as they have concentric slave cylinders. Just had to tilt the cab a bit so the master cylinder can overflow into a rubbish bin! But what a babe of a truck! Totally abused, left standing and then still fired up and ran. And what a sound they make. And how kind to send that adjustable with the fuel pump.

Dear Joseph, This Alvis Stalwart film has somewhat of a historical "technical value" especially for people who have absolutely no understanding of technology so I am very happy with this episode. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

True words and the end there, wish I could have had them, but good to see they might be getting some love.

Wow. I had the Matchbox version when I was a kid, never realised the real ones were so small. Thought they were huge!

Adam reminds of the bloke at unit, no f*cks to give, but is good at what he does, so no one really cared. Nothing ever goes wrong for him, where as for you, it ends up with you stood in front of the OC, or a hefty crate fine and a major cover up. You wish you were him, but he’s still a lance jack, even after his Class One 😂. Thanks for the update, love your content, tally ho, and all that jazz.

So funny 👌 Those engines that sit in the mud for years sound miles better than a modern day golf on tik over - if only we could find a way to drop one in a golf 😆 Also I don’t know what’s more impressive the firing up of old engines or the fact you had no gloves on in arctic conditions 💪🏼

A great way of getting your HGV license as it was called then, they were also good for swimming. Added bonus with the stolly was the fire alarm,it used to scare the absolute crap out of the locals. Another great video

Love it stalwarts will live again Yea

Lil'late but I wish the team and their families a Happy New Year.

I love the use of adjustables…no doubt because there is a mix of thread/bolt sizes to confuse the squaddies.

Love that the fire extinguisher is now becoming a running gag 😆

Heavy you selling them ,good that Ben gonna look after them.

Alvis Stalwart is a funny car after all! Looks like a big children's toy, not an army truck.

Loving the one-handed spannering 😅😅😅

love one of them

I’m very envious of you getting to drive a stally.that was my last job before I left the army .such great things to drive it’s a shame they wouldn’t let us drive them more.as with all vehicles they were on limited mileage 😩.i never got the chance to swim one.and changing the heater matrix was a bugger of a job .but was the best thing I ever drove.inc tanks.im ex RTR.

Update from Ben's channel, he's gone quite far with the Stolley's. Worth the sub.

I very much like Adam's approach to life

You need a much longer CLEAR hose so you can put a loop in the hose and be able to see any air bubbles in the hose. I used this same idea starting in the mid 70’s when working at a Kawasaki shop. It’s basically impossible to bleed the the front disc brakes using the old fashioned way of pump and hold.

Great body! Its a good thing that rust is holding all the holes together.

You 2 have me pissing myself every vid. 😂 ... Keep up the interesting restos & arseclownery too 😁👍 🇭🇲

Great video good to see that both stollys are going to pastures new both you and Adams humour make the videos 😂

Best sound ever , I have always loved the sound of Stolly's with a heap of revs ,preferably though when running a little better than this example. Driver under training I see?

Sad to see Stolly's go as was very interested to see what you would do with them. Hope both are restored ok. It is impressive how older tech can withstand use, abuse, and neglect yet still work if with a bit of help. Modern military hardware I doubt will be so obliging in time.

Dude restore them... not only make them work mate!!! Make them.look good.

My sides man 😂 I could tell from your face something was up at the end.

Every upload just keeps getting better, Vegan my arse 😂

Hi, there's your socket ratchet that fell into the engine!!🔨🔨

That engine sound….happy memories of 4 Armd Div Tpt Regt Duisburg from the 1970’s……

I want one! They look so goofy cool.

Mad geniuses having fun!

It’s a fascinating rhythm from those engines

I love making it to a video before youtube even tells me its out

0:28 sheeeit now that's a drop hitch setup of champions right there

The noises opening the pressure bleeder got me as you're chucking the shredded box into the cab

I remember being on ammo party back in the 70s. Standing in the back of a Stolly full of ammo driving across the impact area and 105mm rounds landing about 500 meters away. Talk about brown underpants.

Another highly entertaining video ! Awesome

Spanner…..hammer……just missing a handgrenade? ……just love the stolleys….used to have em bring ammo up to us on Salisbury plain (lark hill)😎👌🏽

That a cool vehicle

You now need to find another stalwart. Start gathering parts and do a full restoration. I will gladly fund this and purchase the finished vehicle. Once I win the euro lottery.

Watching it moving, whilst bouncing fuel out of the jerry rigged jerry can all over the engine known for occasionally immolating itself is just peak Mr Hewes...

I said same when the “ Leatherman went!”😆😂😂😂💪👍

stalwart....one of htose great british designs.....with some flaws of ocurse but a lovely vehicle. i got at home a series of russian books about mil vehicles(books were meant foe russian military academy) and it contains (amongst a lot of other drawings) a nice drawing of the stalwart drive shaft and complete suspension!

Great times 👍👍

He’s got the earlier stolly, nice 👌 I subscribed. * I just ordered 200ml oil suction syringe off the bay and it looks good. Even comes with spare seals. But maybe that is a bad thing? Anyhoo, it looks like a you sort of tool.

Hey it's those aftermarket Mercedes batteries I was talking about in a different videos comment section. NAPA markdowns.

If your looking for some plyers they drop down by the engine around 15:14.😳👍

Ted has arrived to work, means the supervisor has arrived!

WOW I'll "av-a-gander" a the gentleman's channel.
