Penguin Mkll

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Rob,

Great to hear this vehicle has found a new home! I really like this type of vehicle, that's why a wrote a web page on the Canadian Armoured Snowmobile back in 2002. The website is gone, luckily a copy was captured by the Internet Archive - see http://web.archive.org/web/200910261...nowmobile.html

But you're not going to try to buy a V8 Caddilac engine in the UK, are you? I'd look around in Canada or south of the border, once you start your search I am sure you will find them quite easily on your side of the pond.

See http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15 for some more background on this vehicle or search the forum for "Penguin"

Hanno,

Thank you for posting those links. Like you I have always liked the Canadian Armoured Snowmobile but as there seemed to be none left there was little point aspiring to one so I never studied them. I have just spent a couple of hours reading through your links and the links in them and have a much better picture.

I presume that "Penguin no8" is a "Snowmobile Penguin Mk1", Rob's is definately a Mk2, but I can not find a photo of a Mk3 other than the ones that are actually Mk2s wrongly described. Has anyone got a photo of a Mk3 that is definately a Mk3 ?
