Adrian Scott Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think that i would rather put a 100K or so into a Sherman project rather than a Chally !! , would be intresting to know what a fully restored one would be worth , what do you think ???

Lauren Child Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Others are around. There's a Challenger prototype at the East of England Tank Museum (or there was, if I'm remembering right). There's also a Challenger 1 in Duxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a Challenger 1 in Duxford. I've got a few others on the website, but the list is certainly not (yet) comprehensive: Preserved Challenger 1 Tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankmaker1 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Gents the SP vehicles were "soft" as far as the ones I "owned" for a while. If the current owner looks for the vehicle ID plate(Its a BIG brass plate on the hull on the Loaders side of the vehicle looking gun forward) it will say what vehicle it really is. Be wary that for Gulf War 1 the Army bodged a lot of vehicles to get them to Mark 3 standard so Hulls and Turrets were swapped with gay abandon. 34KA64 was left alone as the first SSGCE fitted vehicle but my personal vehicle 35KA87 disappeared Gulf bound complete with CHIP/CAIP mods! (And I never got it back for trial completion!) Edited February 20, 2012 by tankmaker1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petop Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Noticed the link to the CH1 whereabouts doesnt include the CH1 at Aldershot military museum. As far as i know its the real deal and occasionaly we used to hear it start up with a bit of a drive every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyR Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Cool! any more restoration pictures??? I'm building a 1/6th scale CRARRV, so interested in anything on the engine deck cheers AndyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hello Andy Not been to the shed recently as it is a couple of ours from me, and now that I have storage in Yorkshire I am focussing on one vehicle at a time. Steady (but slow) progress is being made though. A pack has been sourced and it is now a case of collecting all the other bits and working out where it all goes! If you want to see the beast in the flesh it will be on static display at the Tanks Trucks and Firepower show over the August bank holiday...

timbo Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Andy I dint have any at the moment but I should be in the shed towards the end of July so will get some for you then. The decks have been removed for blasting and painting so should be able to get you some good shots. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackRTR Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Brings a tear to my eye to see this lol, spent a great deal of time working and sleeping on and in one plus lots of scuffed knuckles repairing. :cheesy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exterior is nearly finished and work has started on prepping the engine bay for the pack to go in. It is hoped that it will be up and running for summer 2014 (although it might be late summer!)... Cheers Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken arrow Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Aprox 6 months ago was in uk passing QUINTIQ at Shoeburyness just as a challenger was being taken in there on a low loader, never got a chance to see number and had no camara with me, anyone know out about it, stayed with a friend near there 2am in the morning blobby great chopper flew over no lights of anykind on fast in and out over the sea, funny old goings on happens a couple of times a year so was told.
