Hi everyone, found this place while looking online for any and all info i can find out for the crane i have and looks like once again i got something most people haven't seen, an old Iron Fairy Amethyst crane on a Vickers-AWD V531 chassis (Chinese 6). And yes it's in working condition, will send proof to those who want to see it. Let me know what you think.

The original engine was a Bedford 466, straight 6 and 5 speed transmission. When we bought it, it came with a 4 cylinder that made under 120hp so in 09 it was replaced with a straight 6 FAP (Serbian based truck plant, Fabrika Automobila Priboj) turbo diesel running 260 hp and a 12 speed Hi-Lo transmission to make getting it up to speed easier while not leaving a curtain of smoke behind. The cab, which was made by Motor Panel, is original tho in need of some TLC. The crane was refurbished back in 09 when the demon 6 was installed (reason being you can't kill it even with fire) and as such has served us for over a decade, being somewhat of an attraction where ever it shows up due to the Chinese 6 configuration. And thanks for the welcome, will try to be of help if i can 😁
