Wow, that's a vehicle that you don't normally see in someones collection. Well not on this side of the pond anyway.
Was that part of your private collection Malcolm or do you have a business?
Any pictures?

Ryan...no just a hopeless collector of green junk...if you pm me Ill give you my mail address and you can have as many BMP-1 pictures as you like!By the way when I toyed with the idea of refitting the engine which REME had removed for evaluation...I was quoted prices of severel thousands of ponds and a long delivey time...however the chap who has bought it has sourced a brand new engine which his army was going to put throuigh the crusher for approx £300.00...it makes you sick at times...some people have all the luck! cheers malcolm
