Default Two Kettenrads

The are only two SWW German SdKfz 2 Kettenkraftrads in Canada and surprisingly both reside in Ottawa, but that is where the similarity ends. One is unrestored and on public display in a national museum where it is potentially viewed each year by tens of thousands of people.

The other is owned by a private collector, it does not get viewed by tens of thousands of people, but it has been restored with the utmost attention to detail.

Opposite ends of the spectrum with very different ideas when it comes to preserving historical artefacts.
