Snowmobile?

If it were in the neighborhood I might buy it for parts, but currently I am resisting any more purchases until I can catch up on some of the "waiting for labor" line-up.

There are currently 28 military vehicles inside the quonset and around the yard, with half or more waiting their turn for restoration (or in some cases dismantling). I thought I had a 5 year plan to catch up on it all, but then the museum job came along which seriously impacts my free time.

Looking at the kijiji vehicle closer, I would suggest it is a modified penguin. Note the cut out area of the front glacis plate , along with the cleaner metal where the nose of the penguin would have been.

I've asked the seller for more info. If it's a MK.1 I'm interested.

While I am far from an expert at this point, most of the mechanical parts for the penguin mark2 are actually the mk1 snowmobile parts. It may be possible to make a mk1 out of a mk2 penguin.

While researching the photos to determine which version this is likely to be, I found a couple photos of what is listed as the penguin mk1. It sure looks like bren carrier wheels on it. Seems to me we noticed this style wheel on another snow vehicle before.
