What a co-incidence! I was just about to post a thread on this as I found a photo I took in early 1980's of such a vehicle which I think I took at an MV show at Knebworth UK. Where is it now I wonder?

Larry,
May I add your photo to the article?

There was an article in the MVPA magazine a year or two ago as well... Now who is going to build a repro?

After Jeff Theobald it passed on to Jim Dowdell , who later sold it to the Canadian War Museum:

Some more pics I found on an old hard-drive. These photos must have come from Marmon-Herrington records as I found them in a folder related to my
Marmon-Herrington military vehicles website. Read more about the involvement of M-H in Roger Lucy's article linked at the top of this thread.

I remember seeing Jim Dowdall with it at the MVCG D-Day Show at Knebworth Park in 1983, will have a photo somewhere.

Here is a photo of the Tracked Jeep at the MVT show, Knebworth 1983. According to the note in my album it was entered by Jim Dowdall.
