Default Price Range

Richard:

I will mention this to the Canadian War Museum vehicle curator. I don't know what they have in their budget these days but this is a rare opportunity to acquire a very special CMP. The first question they will ask is price range. Please PM me with at least a "ball park" figure.

Mike, Richard isn't with us anymore, and I don't know whether he still monitors this channel. Perhaps someone who is still in touch with him can get the information, but failing that, why don't you call Dave Ballard directly? I can personally vouch for the vehicle - it is like new. It won't be cheap but it will be worth it....

Where is the old sea dog anyway ?

Mike,

Richard no longer is a member of this forum nor does he monitor it. I will send you the details you requested and put you in direct contact with the Ballard family.

Do note this is a British conversion of a Canadian-built truck, which was used by a few British units only.

Regards,
Hanno
