http://www.auctionsfind.com/auction/11869 There are two photos of the Carrier. One is the familiar front quarter, showing a reasonably presentable vehicle in bronze semi-gloss green. From the track marks in the gravel and the wooden block on the back edge of the tracks, it was driven into place for the photo.

The second shows the driver's seat from the left side. The armour looks like it is bolted to angle frames, not riveted. There is a modern 5lb extinguisher under the driver's elbow, as well as a period brass extinguisher. The floor is muddy and has some twigs and litter. The seat has a second cushion. I don't see any modern switches or gauges.

These things make me think it is a running, rolling older restoration which is not necessarily Top Of The Show quality, but probably well worth the effort to bid upon.

(And I appraise houses, boats, computers, jewellery and future ex-wives via the internet. Voodoo hexes removed remotely for an extra fee.)
