Heads Up: 2Pdr Anti-Tank Carrier- Littlefield collection

[Mike Cecil]

Ahh, the 'Zibelfritzer' .... it was a debacle from the moment it was acquired (way, way before my time). The spare wheel was the least of its myriad of problems!! Virtually the only original parts were the floor pan and some fittings.

NOT my favorite collection vehicle, and I would have been quite happy to see it gone/replaced with a more original example. I'd better stop at that point.

I'll pick up this and kick it along... went and saw the AWM Kubel when I was working on a fellows original one and my Kommanderwagen. This was about 14 or so years back. Somewhere below not good to why bother.
I don't usually comment on other peoples restorations as time, money, ability and drive factors are different for everyone... but the government wasted my money on this one. I don't even like the colour.

Bravo for speaking up.

The 'C**perwagen' (got the hint about what I think of it??) was one of several vehicles purchased as a bulk lot from a certain north NSW coast museum owner/restorer (now deceased) who was contracted to undertake a top-class restoration. The AWM received some pretty dubious advice from outside 'authorities' along the way.

Suffice to say, none of the vehicles purchased (I think in the 80s? or 70s?) remain in the AWM's collection except the 'C**perwagen'.
