Anyho that was a British carrier being recovered



Have you had any luck yet Paul ? Took me over a year to locate mine, then a year to battle weather and get it home...... Then so far four years to get it back to where it is....... There is a mk2 for sale in the Netherlands on milweb check it out... Might be nearer your budget, and easier to get home.

Ive got a few irons in the fire at moment.
The one in Oz was a good prospect, but judging by what ive been told its a bit of a dog for ther price and hassle of getting it here!
Worth it at half the price as it would cost the same again to get it here! might be a go if price reduced, got to make some calls!
The one in Netherlands has a lot of problems, and bits missing that hard to find. Whats with the shiney rivets in the armour?? New rivets or coach bolts??
Could be an armoured money pit, especially with stripped lump, like to do my own and see what im playing with!
Waiting for the thumbs up on a few being brought in, rough, not so rough and good condition! Been told these are a better option as not got taxes and transport to worry bout getting them here.
Will fit on the 71/2 tonne recovery truck also so a nice jolly jaunt out for the day and its mine!
Got two on south coast im working on too! Belong to a trust and trying to convince them that they would look better in my "trust"
One was a runner a few years ago and other they were keeping as spares, in my book no such thing as a "spares" carrier!

They sound familiar, if it is where I think it is, they are reluctant to sell anything. Have you seen them?

If its the carrier in the hedge your wasting your time... Kev and I both tried for sea to save that carrier and offered good money for it... Think Ben also tried, but who knows they may like your accent :

Shaun Hindle has a fantastic carrier for sale and may take part ex.

Strung me along for months.... Carrier with a wrecked engine stripped and up ended in the rear hull.... All the track is shot lying in the rear hull too.... Axle and wheels are all there though and it's a mk1... Will need new track guards and floor to make it safe.......if its the same one ;-)

Yeah, think we are on this same page mate, if comes about its another option and you can never have too many options when it comes to carriers!!

Yeah it won't be an easy resto that one... Shaun's is a fully restored mk2* and is a minter, he has advertised it in the for sale section, and on milweb.

Gents ... and Phil in particular...

I made no mention of the Scout: I assumed (not having been the MCH Expert Examiner for some years now) that all was 'hunkie dory' with its export. Indeed, I've been contributing to a private email exchange about its history (with the current owner) for some time.

My post was SIMPLY to ensure that the intending exporter of the carrier that is the subject of this thread was alerted to the MCH Act and the possible implications of not following that path. Not everyone, especially overseas, knows of its provisions. Better to know than get caught up in red tape.
