It's actually an M5 High speed tractor chassis and although they used some Stuart components, the rear wheel (5 vs 7 spoke) and part of the bogies were different. Most of all, the chassis is actually wider than a Stuart.
A shame the seller "scrapped all forms of the high speed tractor sheetmetal and engines" ...

Does anyone know of a friendly Freight Shipper that can help shift these to Australia?
The cost would be around $6000 correct?
I've contacted some local shippers but they have all acted like I was Nucking Futz!
Gawd I hate business type people, their brains seem to be so rigid & devoid of imagination.

cheers

Auction has just 4 hours to go, I hope he doesn't decide to cut his losses & sell it for the scrap steel.
