Someone in Australia might be interested in this. A Blitz with tracks? Worth a look for sure. This was on an antique tractor forum.

Default interesting to say the least

A blitz with tracks? Half track maybe or just some weirdo tractor truck conversion. Would be great to see but emailing the guy is impossible. You have to be a member of the tractor website or myspace. Anyone?

Thanks mate for the heads up, this is new since I was on last night.

PLUSHY - I'll be watching this with great interest. We should be past your way in a couple of weeks time and by then you should have all the information. Maybe there will be two Phoenix.

I wonder where this went to? The owner could tag along with the Phoenician Club.

I think this was for sale in the Coldstream area many years ago and is indeed not a CMP but an "ACCO Blitz" as some people are wont to call them.

I showed the guy a photo of the Halftrack blitz and the Acco half track and he said neither of them looked like what he saw he then sent me a photo of a M16 halftrack and said that it looked like that. So i am heading up there this morning to take a look . Directions are a bit vague but i will see what i find .

Well after a fairly extensive search in the area where it was supposed to be located i didnt manage to find it i located the house where it was supposed to be but it doesnt look like any one has lived there in awhile . The young bloke who spotted it is apparently heading down this way in a few weeks so he is going to take another look then and hopefully confirm its there or gone .
