On our favourite auction site, check out ad #161771012113.
Appears to be an ex BATUS unit.

What is the whole URL? I can't find it with just the number.

Not sure why you can't, simply type the number into the eBay search bar. Works for me and I have tried it a couple times.

Interesting, and some other thingies in the background as well.

Hmmm

Would be more interesting if it were a MK2 multifuel...
The MK 1 ferret is intriguing

I had a FV432 gasser. It tore the hell out of the yard, and was too heavy to transport anywhere without hiring a trucker. It would have to be a very sweet deal for me to ever pick one up again.

But its armour and its cheap for someone...
Personally I would steer clear of a gas armoured veh.

Can't speak to other vehicles but I have had both FV432's...petrol and diesel, the diesels were pigs...slow, noisy and smelly, the gassers run circles around them, and the sound of a straight 8...priceless...now if you are too lazy to change a spark plug or keep the fuel system clean then diesel is the way to go...until the governor runs low on oil and the motor runs away 'til it grenades...and good luck starting one in the winter unless it lives inside

For me it wasn't the sound of the engine....it was the sound of the cooling fans when the hydraulics kicked in. Man did they whine.

Still prefer the M113A1 over the FV432 series.

But that is personal preference.
