So what ever happened to this tank? Was it sold, or is it still there?
Just curious.

I have spoken to Morris at leaton many times about this vehicle, 20k is the price, Higly modified internally- I will look for the photos. I was told the guy had the turretbut when push came to shove it could not be found, (Yet). I Guess we would all like to have it but parts are hard to come by and Turrets are impossible unless you import one form the UK. If you get this one and the one from oakdale you may be able to get something together.

Kind regards
Matt

hi fella's
if that churchill was anywhere near england i'd have it myself but the £10k to ship it is a little expensive for me right now. (i'd better start saving) !

So is the Churchill still there and did the owner ever find the turret?

Pretty sure this Churchill is one that went up to the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum

Have a look through the gallery you will see a photo of it.

Hey Luke, good to see your still floating around!
Who's running that show up there, they must be rich as all get out.
Jealous, hell yes.

If it is the one that went to the Museum, it now has a concrete turret.
