The Cold War Collection put its Saracen in Felix markings. No particular known provenance, but a tip of the hat to EOD. That Saracen had been ordered for Libya and not delivered, redirected to Northern Ireland where it received uparmouring. The collection's restorer had to remove most of the plates because of rust buckling and really bad welds. It was operational during the Troubles as evidenced by a few bullet divets near the driver's hatch. The vehicle came to Canada at some point, and was taken on as a project. It is now somewhere in Western Canada with new owners.
