The people that sold the tankette didn't build it, it was purchased in Lancashire along with all the drawings, tooling, patterns for casting and a spare hull.

And the vehicle although registered as built in the Twenties was built sometime between 2000-2010

The holes for the track pins were not cast in, instead they were drilled out on a sliding jig.
