mk1* on ebay
 
hi fella's
anyone looking for an easy resto project will want to have a look at this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1942-...item27b5102c7f

it cost me about £3k to ship mine from the states to england so bear that in mind if you're thinking of having a go at it

Note that it has the same wide pattern drive sprockets as being discussed in another thread. Great project.

Well, the Seller has set a "Low reserve" which hasn't been met yet!

Local Chap..... my wife will take my testes and smash them if i bring another one back. would be nice to have another machine made by Mother Canada from the same year as mine....i cant get over how good it is ! worth every penny !

in british money the unit is sitting at circa 8.5K so by the time you import her to UK it gets a tad expensive for my meager budget (although not expensive in the grand scheme of carriers)

i will be happy if she goes to a person who will breath life back into her.

whats your name local chap ?


cheers

Not only complete, but accessorized. One shot showing the armoured engine cover has the spare Bren barrel bin and one of the cast weapons mounting brackets visible in it.

Amazing!
 
Well all I can say is wow !

What an amazing time capsule that machine is. Every picture tells a story and from what I have seen on the Ebay pics it confirms one or two parts I have are indeed off a carrier.

I certainly hope someone on this forum eventually ends up with that machine.

Cheers
