Yes, thats the one of e-bay. It was not quite the gem the sellers made it out to be. The armour had been cut, the rear armour piece was homemade, the lower hull rusty, the track semi-siezed, and a lot of the parts were either missing (some were parts which were even shown in the photos) or not origional.
On the plus side, the engine turned over, and only had some very minor water damage in the cyls, and some of the stowage boxes are the best I have seen. The inside of the bren barrel box still has the wood and felt brackets, and one of the grenade boxes has it's plywood "grenade cradle" inside of it as well.
Work is progressing slowly; it was -35 here this morning.
