Staghound Restoration

[Dirk Thielens]

Hello Everyone,
I am pleased to announce that a small group of enthousiast in Belgium has started to restore a Staghound T17E1. The group is called Taskforce Liberty.
The Staghound was probably used by the Canadians and after the war transferred to the Belgian Army and the Gendarmerie (state police). The purpose is to get it running for the 75th anniversary of the liberation in 2019. The owner of the Staghound is the Belgian Army but as they have no further use for it nor place to store it they have given to us in long time loan in order to use it for commemorations, parades, liberation events, etc. We have found the US registration number (USA 6.031.187)on it but that is for now the only thing we know about the vehicle. There are attachment points for the deep wading kit. Is there someone out there who could help us identifying the vehicle in order to find it’s history?
For the facebook users, we have a facebook page with the name Taskforce Liberty that shows all the pictures we have made untill now.
