Mikes Brazilain Tanks
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.

mikes tanks from Brazil
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

philosophical dilemma ?
This type of thing throws up the old dilemma: should we profit from history .
Me. I think of the people who had to drive those tanks in the most arduous conditions e.g., in the North African desert ..it would have been hell, the heat and not to mention being shot at . Did those young guys make huge profits for their endevours ? Call me anti-capitalist.. call me a socialist.. call me a communist even.. it's a conscience thing for me... and it's why the world is going downhill fast.. greed. Mike

couldnt agree more with you ......thats why the world is in shit shape at the moment...greedy bankers etc.....myself I knew things would go pear-shaped when you have pen-pushing accountants running the MOD instead of good old fashioned Generals
 as for those that made the supreme sacrafice on all sides and fronts...the modern world dosnt care...apart from payng lip-service once a year best regards malcolm
