Rare opportunity to acquire this World War 2 built armoured vehicle.
Very complete but in need of a little work to get running again. Tracks are good, all boxs stamped and included, some spares and original tools.
Engine needs repair/replacing as block cracked in winter time. Road registered, MOT and Tax exempt.
Driven on the road regularly until recently.
We have owned this vehicle for the last 10 years and had lots of fun with it.
It has been to Arnhem, see pictures.
Vehicle is based in Herfordshire. Viewing for serious buyers only, by appointment.

£35,000.

At 35,000 BP I would expect it to be excellent. Asking a bit much considering a blown engine.....

Why are people asking such enormous amounts of money for carriers? They aren't really that rare to demand such prices.

Compared to buying a new vehicle, maybe the "rarity" is a relevant factor.
Where can you buy a runner in N.Z. at the moment?

I suspect it's a combination of size, ease of use, and tracks.

What's the next affordable "tank" ? A kettenkrad is rare but they're about 100k
