A 6x6 Armoured Command truck exists in a collection the Kent, I am pretty sure it is the one from Pounds yard. But it is not in a good stated but it could be restored.

It is... saw it recently.

It was fire damaged whilst at Pounds and one of the axles was damaged when the army recoverd it from Portsmouth for display at Bovington on loan.

Whatever the deal was it just sat in the yard at Bovington and subsequently went to its new owners.

Here's a picture from HMVF from way back when it was at Pounds Yard in Portsmouth.

Back in 1985 I visited the yard and crawled in it. I was amazed by how complete it still was - a true time capsule. Here's hoping someone will one day pick up the gauntlet and restore or at least properly preserve it.

I saw back in 08 or 10, and it was still pretty complete by looks of it, but it had been on fire at some point.
yes lets hope it gets restored
