You have mentioned this before. The only Ram ARV hulk I know of is in the possession of the Royal Netherlands Army. I know for sure because I discovered it and advised them to save it from one of their ranges (mind you, it mainly has curiosity value as it was fully stripped to be used as a pillbox, and then shot up). Somehow, it surprises me someone is offering something in exchange that isn't theirs!

By the way, instead of hunting down German tanks, I wonder when a Canadian will finally bother to recover the two Ram tanks at Borden and Meaford. From these at least one Ram Kangaroo could be restored. There are running Panthers and Tigers, but no running Ram tanks anywhere in the world. So the word RARE is more applicable to the latter . . .
