Someone took delivery of a NATO green Snowcat yeterday.it was heading south on the 74 just north on the Scottish side of the border.
It looked really good on the back of the truck.
Have I posted this in the wrong place?
At one time my kids and grandkids would get me a model jeep for my birthday but I always wanted one with a canvas top on.I eventually came across a French made jeep.
It was pleasantly surprised that it was an M201 version even with electric wipers ( I hard a real 201 at the time).
It was a plastic canvas top but it look real good and it fitted my Japanese model perfectly.
never found another and the shop closed down.
M201 wipers, motor and wiper arms £40.
Boxed speedo (kilometres) never used, £30.
Two empty extinguishers off a Ferret, good for display, £20.

Hi Richard. I wonder if the one I saw came back home. The red one I mentioned, I actually saw it in Sunderland parked up.
The owner was a serving Soldier who 'managed' to get it 'medivaced' to Brize when it was Cast with a load of cast spares. Can't confirm that.
Can anyone remember the Gloster Saro conversion Lightweights in the Falklands and what happened to them?
i saw one driving away from Mount Pleasant airfield (it might have been called Falkland Islands Stategic Airfield then) in the early 1980's.
The nearside front wing was half hanging off and the noise from it was terrible when it drove over a bump.
I only seen it once and I thought it was a local modification as it was scruffy and looked as rough as a Badgers arse.
There was also a red Lightweight in Stanley that was eventually owned by a REME lad that ended up in Sunderland.
Any word on that?
Sorry that you may have lost out Gez.
I don't know new owners name yet.
It hadn't been advertised anywhere else but a couple of others that knew may have spread the news.
The early RL, the series 2 radio LR and even the Russian missile truck are still there but I don't know if they are for sale.
The Routemaster has gone some time ago.
Hey, shy boys get nowt but you could try!

I don't know if this link will work but this Ferret needs a new home.
A few years ago I reported a yellow Ferret in Gateshead owned by Lings Cars in Gateshead.
I've been informed that it is now for sale as a non runner with accessories missing.
Original photos on the forum somewhere?
As far as I know it has been stored in a barn since it was bought.

Hi.
I aquired this a few years ago and I was told it was for a jeep.
Any ideas what these were made for?

Keep it up as it gives us mere mortals so much pleasure and jealousy 👍🏻
