16 WW2 Stuart tanks imported into the UK

[Ryan]

Hi Zemsi,
Fascinating story to read via your link. Terrific pics as well. Well done to the chap in Brazil too for holding onto them for so long.

From Mike Stallwood himself, the asking price is 50,000 pounds a unit

They would seem pretty expensive against my reserve condition T55 MBT which are only 47,000.0 euros each ex Helsenki.

With all due respect Malcolm, a T55, be it as it may, is not WW2 armour...

In recent years the prices of anything WW2 have dramatically increased and I believe the scope of this recovery of the quantity of original Stuarts found in one place is remarkable.

As stated by the vendor himself, there are already deposits down on many units and at any rate, he is in no rush to sell or offer bargain basement prices once the first few pay for the lot.

Chris yes that a fair point but at some time all this WW2 stuff is going to dry up....and its not everybody that can afford those prices...even old range hulks are fetching crazy money...my own preference is a working tank ready to run for reasonable bucks! best regards malcolm

given a choice Malcolm, I would probably op for the as new conditon T55 as well.
