I have looked at The Final Push and thought what a great experience it would be. Having been to Holland in May 1995 and May 2010 I know how things get done there!! To take the C60 would be VERY expensive, 2000 Km trucking to Halifax Nova Scotia, RO-RO shipping to Holland, staging to the tour departure, then the tour and back home. It would be cheaper to buy a vehicle in Holland!
A more reasonable approach would be to convince one of your countryman they desperately need someone with them, who can play the bagpipes and help pay for the gas money.
Not many Lindsay bodied trucks are restored because they are great lumbering gas guzzlers, have been butchered or had the bodies removed. This one, as it turns out, is a very special one. The Design Records lists the number of Signals Van CZ MkIV bodies having been built as 14. The van body on this truck is #9, any one care to guess how many of the original 14 still exist? Its other great salvation was that it was never turned into civilian use. When I was going to buy it there had been no civilian road registration for the vehicle.

Thank you for the tip on balancing the front tires. I still don't have many miles on the truck yet but it does have a vibration around 32mph. Lots of tweaking to do yet before it gets ready for next summer. My RCEME V-teck is home on Christmas break next weekend and I'll put him to work, again. Right Neil.
