Staghound Restoration

[Dirk Thielens]

Hello fellow enthousiasts,
Here is an update in the restoration project.
Three weeks ago we were able to complete a first testrun of the left engine of our Staghound.
The engine itself is completely overhauled.
We made a short movie of this "historic" event.
You can watch it through this link on our website:

The website itself is in Dutch but by clicking on the red underlined words "deze link" in the last lines of the text you can see the movie.

Cheers,
Dirk

The seats (driver, .30 gunner and loader) in our Staghound are completely gone. Only the front part of the seat in the turret is sort of still there. Does anyone have some tips and tricks on how to remanufacture the seats or are there seats used in other vehicles that can be converted in to Staghound seats?
Cheers,

Dirk

Hello,
Today we found the original F number on the rear of the Staghound.
It is F 11 71 31.
I hope this can help in the identification.

Cheers,
Dirk

Here's a book I found recently - it will soon be going to a Staghound owner... but it could easily be scanned before it leaves me if you're interested... assuming of course there are no other copies kicking around with some of the Canadian nationals here. 288 pages.

Armament Training Pamphlet - Provisional - The Armoured Car M6 (T17E1) Staghound with 37mm Gun, 1957...

Let me know.

Hello Tim,
I am surely interested if it is not to much effort to scan it?
Kindest Regards,
Dirk

I certainly don't have a copy and it would be a pleasure to have a copy.

I have never seen this one, so yes, I am interested also!
