I know a mate of mine who would give his first born for those two handle in pic 5 of post 5.
He had his in a garbage bag and his eldest threw the bag out with the weekly garbage . . . . . . Doh!  Buy the lot, no question. You would not be a bona fide MV person not to make some excuse and save them, they are no more coming from any factories I know of. R

 I imagine your mate´s expression when he found out!  By the way, it would be interesting to buy the whole lot, but I´m full of MVs..... For now, they´ll be still sitting there. No signs of soon scrapping fortunately according to the owner. Some more pics:

Dear Gaston,
yes, it was a fateful day for him and a learning lesson that we have embraced as well. I can always get him peaking if I mention it, he spins like a top when I do  We no longer do that unless we use masking tape around the neck and write on it what it is. You have your priorities in the wrong order, you need to buy the whole lot, some very complete looking vehicles if you ask me. R

At least get your mitts on the precious bits and tracks, just in case...!

I know, Robin and Hans about the difficult to find parts and the like. But I would prefer they end up in other MV collector hands. I´m fine with my two T16s, the restorable and the donor. In the future I´ll post pictures of both.
Some other pictures of the carriers (on a side note, all pictures were taken last august, barely two months ago):

Great photos. Why cant we find Carriers like this is the UK. Even if we could they would be so rotted out by now they would be barely restorable. Great find

Thanks for posting these pics Gaston and congrats on the find. Excellent!
I wonder what else is there on the scrapyard...one of your first pics seems to show a 3Ton CMP GS body...
