    Default Sabre + Spartan

    Here are a few pics of the Sabre and one of the Spartans in the collection

    The vehicles are pretty much in the same state as when we received them.

    No one has asked about the Spartan, take a look at it closely.

    I saw this one at withams and thought it might have been an mct version. The roof hatches have been removed and a plate fitted over them.

    Sirhc you are spot on. Yes there is a layer of applique something on the roof covering the whole area. If I tell you that the colour was yellow does that give anyone a clue as to why?

    Guessing gulf war (1), was it used as a forward air observation post?

    We have a Spartan MCT, minus turret. We have the launcher rails and hope to on day get a turret made for it.
    Mk 1 Ferret

    Looking after- CVRT Spartan, Interneational Harvester M55, Series 3 FFR, Dodge WC51, ERF EC6

    Restoring- CVRT Scorpion, CVRT Striker
