Default Canadian carrier on ebay

They want $33.000 for her around £19.000 GBP? It has everything to restore her even the nos flathead that's been reconditioned.

Bill.

That maybe so... But the point is, everything is there. As long as they have tracks and drive line ;-)

The more complete the unit is the more you pay initially, sometimes getting a less complete unit is a false economy as by the time you have sourced and replaced all the missing bits you have paid the same if not more in the end. Carriers do come up for sale, but the word is seldom, and they command big money as its ww2 tracked armour that can be used on the roads and is still light enough for transporting about

Also with the 19k you need to add 5% import duties onto that cost, plus a further 2500ish grand for shipping.... Mind she is a mint carrier
