It would look good in your shed Colin!

Believe me i would rather it not go to anyone else but Colin.
For one we know it would get restored, it would be undercover and a lot of us would get the pleasure of seeing his amazing work. However the price is $25,000 and the owner already has an offer at the asking price but where are you going to get the chance to buy another. Just for the lovers of tanks here are some more photos...

This is the only good part left on this truck but we brought it back anyway.

Hi Shane,
What is the history of the Valentine tank?
Is it the Belfield one sold in 2006?

[Shane]

Hi Ryan

Yep it is the tank from Belfield apparently. Good news have also located another passenger door for the monkey face,now for the drivers door....... the hunt is on. Have sent these pictures to other members trying to identify if these are parts for the portee but no one is sure. These were found with the Cab 12 door, i understand the wheel bracket is for the portee but what are your opinions on the other items. My thoughts that maybe the rectangle item may be a spare wheel carrier...

RE the (now) Scriven's Cab 13 Portee: I think I remember seeing that in storage in 'Over Dimensional Albert's' very large shed at Whittlesea, already restored, possibly around 2008.

Nice job on the Cab 12. Bugger of a truck to drive: comfort was no consideration, but nice restoration.

Mike he still has the cab12 with the 2 pounder asking price is 30,000. Has anyone got information on the Australian armoured Dingo. After lots of pictures and parts but most important dimensions etc. Cheers Shane
