Default early m3 lee recovery and resto so far

Well been some time since I updated and thought may pay to list a bit of armour recovered and under resto now and anyone with info on original lee turrets that may be recoverable send us an email, any country
lee m3 early made at Detroit 5/42 took 30 years to get farmer to agree to let me have it for restoration and all add ons have been removed and original parts now being replaced after approx 12 months work

regards
rod

I know of another farmer do your way that has a really old tank turned into a bull dozer. I've been after him on face book for two years now to get me some pics of it. Think he said it was a Vickers tank not sure. Going to start bugging him again about this. I want a pic of it.

Would love to see pictures of you project.

If you cannot find an M3 Lee turret, you could always restore it as a British Amoured Recovery Vehicle "Grant ARV I"
