Default Misleading

I have have seen other photos of the Mk2 for sale , some of the front armour is not genuine . As for the engine and gearbox ... it might well be a V8 but it’s not out of a carrier as the guy o know who went to look was told .

Default Superb .... FFS, I do not believe it for a minute.

The narrative appears to describe a different vehicle.

An uninformed buyer may find value in having an independent inspection report done by someone with detailed knowledge of carriers. As the seller indicates: “hard to find original parts”.

... “Universal Carrier with a superb 1944 dated uncut hull. NOS tracks, running 24 stud engine with gearbox, rebuilt bogies, new set of linkages, rebuilt brakes and all original dated carrier parts restored and painted ready to fit. Many years sourcing hard to find original parts- all you need to do is assemble it . ..”

Maybe they can't stand the idea of hanging by their feet, to assemble it
