Here´s my restoration suggestion for anyone who ends up with it. The British converted redundant Grant and Lee tanks to the Grant ARV I by removing the turret and main hull gun and fitting various tools, including a small jib crane that could be fitted to the front of the vehicle. The British converted other tanks (Sherman, Ram, Churchill, Centaur) into ARV Mark I´s along the same lines. This conversion should not be that hard to replicate.

See more pics of the Grant Armoured Recovery Vehicle Mark I at Jedsite.

Thanks for all the info!

A closer look and the number is T23714. I was trying to outline the last number and thought it may have been a 1 but it is a 4. I have had a look at both sides of the towing lugs on the transmission and there aren't any numbers at all.

Is there any information about in regards to T23714?


Thanks again
Darren
