Sherman Firefly restoration

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Hello John,

Welcome to MLU!

Always interested to hear about Sherman tanks as next to CMP trucks, they are my main HMV interest. See my Sherman Register website and you are welcome to join the G104 mailing list or FB page.

If you don't have it already, make sure to buy the following book:

The Sherman Firefly by Mark Hayward
Publisher: Barbarossa Books; 1st Edition edition (September 2001)
ISBN-10: 0953877728
ISBN-13: 978-0953877720

Here's hoping you can share some pictures of your new acquisition soon!

HTH,
Hanno

Hi John,

Someone just messaged me about the tank you are buying from Ricardo.

You should be warned that this tank was sold to an Australian chap by Ricardo who could the not export it. After 3 years it was then purchased by myself off the Australian and it is now sitting on a farm belonging to a friend of mine in Argentina. I would be careful sending any money!!

Thank you Jon, I just e-mailed you before logging in here and seeing your advice. Much appreciated. I must thank you, a good member and this forum from saving me from a lot of grief.

Cheers John
