TR2/3/3A On my way home from town - spotted this

[Basil]

I spotted this on a Tow company's flat bed. No idea who it belongs to or if they are a member here.

Mine has a few miles on a flatbed too. Tom

Maybe a right of passage for little British car owners?

Good luck getting it off without scraping the back end on the tilt tray.

That is where a couple of 2x4’s or some plywood under the rear wheels would come in handy.

Perhaps all rollbacks are not the same. Mine, backed on also, loaded and unloaded easily with no issues.
Still glad Basil was not around to post a picture.

Wouldn’t it be better to have it facing forwards? At higher speeds I can imagine the wind loading from the wrong direction would be hard on the windshield/frame. (Or maybe not...?)

 

[TomMull]

I don't think it matters much. You are in the wind wash from the truck's cab and the force on the frame in the wrong direction seems insignificant to me, (about 12.5 psf at 70 mph) and quite often you don't have a choice.
That frame, and the windscreen itself, usually suffers more from your passenger grabbing the top of it to pull him/her self out.

Been there before when the crank broke at the 4th journal. The car was still driveable but sounded like Thor's hammer hitting a big anvil.
