Looking for FV432

[maple_leaf_eh]

Of all places there is a steel mill in the middle of the Prairies. IPSCO is/was the name 10 yrs ago.

before paying out you should know that you can get one here in the UK very clean on low hours with full pack for circa £4500, it would cost you circa £1500 to get it shipped to your door, so pending on what folk are asking for them over Canada keep your options open.

do you not fancy a nice CVRT ? around the same price for a better made machine unless you intend to convert the hull into a Stug or panzer

good luck buddy if you decide the UK may be more viable let us know and we will keep our eyes peeled for you.

www.milweb.net there are tonnes on here.

FV432 APC
Low hour's engine pack and new batteries fitted recently along with a full set of track pads, road registered (historic vehicle road Tax) a coat of paint needed but 90% there (this is reflected in the price) redundancy forces sale so is an unfinished project. Location Spalding Lincs. £4500.
07969 185361

this one appears to merely need a coat of paint (appears)

excellent choice,there aren't many tracked vehicles i haven't driven and i have to say the 432 is my favourite, it sounds good, it goes well and it's real simple engineering, get one, you'll love it.

forgot to mention don't get a mk1 petrol, nothing but trouble and lack of power.

I had a mk1 petrol, and once the linkages were properly adjusted to give it the full range of throttle it went like a bat out of hell. I am certain it would beat a M113A2 in a race, as long as you restricted the track to 32mph.

Hi, it's Markus from Willys Acres.

We've imported several vehicles over the years, here is what you need:

1. Money
2. Controlled goods certification
3. It needs to be a business in England to receive export permits so you can actually ship it out of England. You will need to download & set up a program called ELVIS to get the right paperwork.
4. Organize shipping from sellers place to port for seafreight (i.e. Dover, etc.), port has to be equipped for roll-on/roll-off loading as an FV432 does not fit in a container.
5. Make sure vehicle is spic and span clean (pressure washed 5 times over, no dirt in tracks, etc. Canadian officials are still mad about the mad cow disease)
6. Organize seafreight shipper to port Canada (Halifax, etc.) approx. US $ 4,000.00-6,000.00 (includes port charges & more charges & more charges)
7. Have all customs paperwork ready before it arrives at port & get it set up with your shipper (there will be duty & all applicable taxes on it)
8. Customs Inspection: Most likely customs/agricultural Canada will find a flaw, a spec of dust, something so you will have to have it washed again ($ 800-1,000)
9. Organize transportation from port Canada to your location before it arrives so it can be picked up immediately upon customs release as you will be charged for every day it sits in their yard
10. Transport will be overwidth as the FV432 is over 102" wide so transport will require special permits (more $)

Controlled goods certification takes anywhere 3-12 month & a bunch of paperwork. You also have to submit reasonable grounds for importing armour. You will have to give Canadian, American & their NATO partners permission & authorization to investigate you as well as your premisses where the vehicle/s will be kept.

You will have to provide safe storage under controlled goods which means if you take it anywhere you will have to provide 24hour security.

How all the rules and regulations are enforced varies on a case by case basis.

If you wish we can help you import your armour i.e. organize all of the above as we are certified under controlled goods and know the process.

P.S.: The cheapest thing is buying it after that it costs real money!

Very interesting! Thank you Markus.

PS: I imagine the conditions for importation are slightly easier under the aegis of an established museum?

What about bringing a m113 or m114 into canada from the US? It must be more simple than all this no?
