Martyn, are you sure that is all you want for her ? cheaper than a family saloon !

value is in the eye of the beholder, iam sure Martyn would advise any prospective buyer that the carrier is scratch built. infact this makes a great selling point (only Mk1 ever done) so it is unique, yes it has not fought in any wars however many carriers original or otherwise never made it to the front lines most out there have been surplus often bought up at the end of the war by forestry or mining authorities. i say this as a general rule as i know that my grandads regiment give they're carriers to the russians at the end of his tour....so they will all be destroyed by now i suppose.

if i had the cash Martyn i would have it mind rightly or wrongly it would be to pillage the armour from it, i am sorry your predicament means the sale of this but needs must and all that.......anyway you and Shaun will look better in convoy with ure fancy Mk2's hahahaha

still a good buy i reckon guys a nice clean one to work on !


cheers

Rich
