Hey Alex, you represented the MLU community very well!
I wish I go there one day too!

Richard, it's a great chance to see these rare vehicles running, and Alex was very lucky!
The only surviving example of the type in Greece, is rotting at the (open) Tank Museum. (2nd photo). There was a plan to get that tank back to road, some years ago, but nothing have done and the programme went to the drawer once again..

Kostas,

Very interesting pic! Are those M113 tracks and sprockets? I guess that's pure cosmetic conversion, or was it a working modification?

You are absolutely right Alex! I congratulate you!

The Cromwell/Centaur at our Museum has M113 tracks for an unknown reason to me, baybe because the tank's sprocket wheels could run only the narrow (14 inch) track, and whithout having a good pair of the original in reasonable condition, they put the IFV track in place of the factory ones.
