Sold my MkII Ferret for $13K USD and did a happy dance as it left.  No interest in my CVR[w] Fox tho. In Oregon, USA  It's listed here too. Dave

My father brought home a steel German helmet with an aluminum crest [ww2].  Swore they were used in concrete bunkers as bump protection for the German troops. Not a Fireman's helmet. Never found this documented.  Newc in Oregon

And nobody wants a restored CVR[W]  Except they want the turret. In the For Sale section, located in USA even. Saw a photo of it in the import yard and they were all LIVE 30mm  then.  Dave

WOW; Now someone work on a FOX cvr{W}.  In the Western USA- I need engine work. It was rebuilt with jag car pistons and the spare J60 [mk3] is missing all accessories. Oregon USA

Ford main bearing bolt for 30's 4 cylinder eng???  Newc

Well; Here in the USA, my Fox has been listed For Sale for about 4 yrs- no offers even.  Photos are on Mapleleaf.  Didn't know about the rarity when I bought it, but we went for a 60 mph drive on the Idaho freeways that day. Even without a gearbox I could see that hull in 2 wheel drive with a truck engine and trans, driving down the road.   Newc

A few Complete Foxs got to the States and I have one. Before restoration it was full military and complete. I understand of only the original [300] only 47 or so got released.  The turrets are still active??  Mine is For Sale in Oregon USA on Mapleleafup. I sold my Ferret and it was more serviceable... Stateside title as a Daimler still not correct.   Dave. 

Ok; I have a spare J60 with the crank nut there, so I was hoping to fab an engine  crank.  thanks  Newc

Engine last ran 4yrs ago and Jaguar folks caution about sticky valves- recommend hand cranking engine over for a while, before starting.  Fox is very complete with most kit, but no crank!  thanks  Newc in Oregon USA

Careful;  the Simca variation is a V8 60--    the small version of the Ford V8 flathead.  Some of those Simca V8s are desirable, especially the Brazilian overhead versions.  Newc

Hi; My Fox  CVR[w] J60 was rebuilt in the USA with high compression car pistons- overbore so the liners were removed and the cooling system could NEVER handle the engine heat. Ruined the engine basically. The original J60 operated on the edge of the military cooling system for a reason.   Newc

So, inorder to name [label]  a CVR[w] Fox , you would list it as a Diamler product on title and goverment licencing papers? ROF Leeds is not a recognized vehicle mfgr Name for title and or insurance- especially in the States.??  Newc

Hi;  the 70's Fox cvr[w] is supposed to be Alvis built, but oddly there is some controversy about that. I understand that only 296 were built and about 47 got surplussed, some to the States.  More info is always welcome  Newcoregon

I don't have them, but on Mapleleafup ,the info is there just incredible, what is happening without a bill of rights.  Newc   [USA]

Hi; I'm in the USA so shipping is too problematic.  I have one intert blue bullet sample and will have it copied in plastic.  Thanks  Newc

Hi; Can't let mine go, but they are around with a solid bullet inert blue color.  I was told to have the extras 3D printed. Newc

Hi; Looks like a Royal Enfield single cyl, has its numbers and a unit badge on the tank .. a yellow triangle with a black horse.  the motorcycle is on Craig's list Portland, Oregon under motorcycle parts.  the bike is intack.. all together..  Craig's list post ID no. 7048050052.. It's located in the city of Grants Pass, Oregon. A good photo is posted in the add.  Maybe you could ring the owner up and get the idea of what it is. Yes this is the second post today about this bike, cause it did not show up in New posts.  Newc

On Portland, Or motorcycle parts.   A complete British single cyl military motorcycle;   Looks to be WW2  It is located in Grants Pass, Oregon.   Craig's list Post No. ID 70480500052

Good hunting;   I'd post a link if I knew how.  Newc

In the USA try Fordbarn.com. in fact two surplus carrier engines were sold there this Summer. still in Military crates. 24 stud 59a engines 1939-42.   newc

Odd, but my Fox tach looks like a leyland motors unit from a MGB, acts like one too.   Newc

Well; I haven't run my Fox in 3 yrs, old petrol now. Understand that overheating was always  iffy.  My problem is a bad rebuild on a series one engine.. Series 3 engines had far better cooling passages and even the heads do not interchange.  Newc in Oregon USA

Mapleleafup.net     new  posts    Poor mans Armor   Newest post was today.   Newc

Yeh; there is now a series of construction posts under Poor Man's Armour on Mapleleafup.com  I am unable to provide a link, so folks will have to go there.  I find it under new Posts.  Newc

Hi; On Mapleleafup.com a fellow is reproducing a BA-64 on a CJ jeep chassis.  It actually looks quite good and he reproduced the exact scale steel plates. I think he uses "Poor mans armor" for his posts.  Although they don't show up every day, he is making good progress.  What an idea for a 'Kit' vehicle , I could see dozens of them driving around.  Newc
