Nice to see there is still another large stash of T-16 parts and project vehicles in the world. SECo here in the USA got tired of sitting on all of their spare parts and track and scrapped it all a long time ago.

More pictures of the carriers
Iīm glad you liked the pictures, Ryan, Richard and David!!! Thatīs great. You are the experts!!!
This scrapyard (located in the argentine province of Mendoza, next to the Andes mountains) used to have twenty T16-E2 UCs. Many of them donīt have the engine or transmission, however, they were absolutely complete and most were running when bought at auction in 1981, all in one lot. Over the years, many of the Ford V8 flathead engines were sold to power old trucks still in use. A pity. There are still seven there. As I said before, I brought one home as a donor (complete with engine and tranny), with tracks apart and not installed. I have another T16-E2 mostly complete, ex-Argentine Army for restoring. Here are some other pics. More will follow. Hope you enjoy.

I know a mate of mine who would give his first born for those two handle in pic 5 of post 5.
He had his in a garbage bag and his eldest threw the bag out with the weekly garbage . . . . . . Doh!  Buy the lot, no question. You would not be a bona fide MV person not to make some excuse and save them, they are no more coming from any factories I know of. R

 I imagine your mateīs expression when he found out!  By the way, it would be interesting to buy the whole lot, but Iīm full of MVs..... For now, theyīll be still sitting there. No signs of soon scrapping fortunately according to the owner. Some more pics:

Dear Gaston,
yes, it was a fateful day for him and a learning lesson that we have embraced as well. I can always get him peaking if I mention it, he spins like a top when I do  We no longer do that unless we use masking tape around the neck and write on it what it is. You have your priorities in the wrong order, you need to buy the whole lot, some very complete looking vehicles if you ask me. R
