Thanks guys, that looks like it could be the one.

At $20 000 I would have thought that someone would have snapped it up by now.

Is there something dodgy or wrong with it?

Default This one has similarities

Taken in the 1960s by the look of the Humber Vogue

And also the ball made from traction engine wheels.

I wonder if someone with an 'arts degree' put that ball together, I'm surprised it hasn't been installed down by the Yarra! A cross between ingenuity and bush craft me thinks!!

Nope, Tommy. Just a problem with my expendable income...

Default churchill

So what ever happened to this tank? Was it sold, or is it still there?
Just curious.

I have spoken to Morris at leaton many times about this vehicle, 20k is the price, Higly modified internally- I will look for the photos. I was told the guy had the turretbut when push came to shove it could not be found, (Yet). I Guess we would all like to have it but parts are hard to come by and Turrets are impossible unless you import one form the UK. If you get this one and the one from oakdale you may be able to get something together.

Kind regards
Matt

hi fella's
if that churchill was anywhere near england i'd have it myself but the £10k to ship it is a little expensive for me right now. (i'd better start saving) !

Default Churchill

Pretty sure this Churchill is one that went up to the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum

Have a look through the gallery you will see a photo of it.
