Default Stolly for Sale NZ

MK2 Stalwart on E-bay. Pricey $25000 for a non swimmer, but are few and far between in this hemisphere.

"Alvis stalwart MK2 . Ex British army. 6x6 / four wheel steer. Awesome off road ability. Originally amphibious and with some work could be made a swimmer again (the Army removed driveshafts to the Dowdy jets and steering rods).

Good runner and driver. Not museum piece, I drive it!

See youtube.com and type in Stalwart to see one in action.

Dimensions

2.62m wide/ 2.4m high/ 8500kg unladen /5000kg payload. Rolls Royce sraight 8 petrol ,easily converted to LPG.

10,000kg Hydraulic winch ,needs cable and linkage freeing up

User handbook and service manual.

Truck is in Nelson NZ. I can organise shipping. "


Never heard of a B Series being put on gas, so not sure if it is an "easy" or suitable conversion. There was some confusion if they could run on Unleaded let alone LPG.
My vote for best looking Military Vehicle ever.
Rich.
