paulbrook Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Crikey that brings back some memories as I nearly bought one of them (I think there were two or three) a few years ago. As I recall they were ex Israeli and could even have been re-engined. In fact when wracking the few brain cells I have left I think they might have had 330 Bedford engines in. Or I could have been having one of those dreams again - the sort I have when I forget to take my medication. As far as I know they still exist and are out there somewhere! I might even look in my old tellingbone directory to see if I can come up with a number for my (then) contact.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machman Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I know this is an old (very old) thread but I have just aquired one of Renosteels halftracks and would love to see more pictures of them in action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Try contacting Renosteel - their phone number is just a web search away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
