I have attended the Show for the last 5 years.The wife, Myself and Friends.We travel 1600 Kms to share in this Event. I can find a few minor faults , but it's still the place to be.

And all being well I hope to meet some of you there this next year.

We'll be in the American field. We're off to Normandy before the Show.

I wish my Engine bay looked that clean.

I was running on only 2 batteries, He reacons low voltage can cause it or damp in the electronic selectors

This is the Beast. She was in Reign of Fire.

This is my Fox ( and 2 Vixens )

This is the version we are going to build this time.

This picture was taken during our visit to the factory.

Chassis up assembley, look no power tools!

very empty pockets :wink:

I was very fortunate to be the 1st person to show an Acmat in the U.k.

These vehicles are a French update of a WW11 Dodge.

Rough features;

4.20 Tonne

Perkins Diesal 6 cyl

35 miles to the gallon

Range on tanks, 1000 miles.

1st built 1960's

Still in production

Used by several Armies and a current BA vehicle.

Many, many versions........

I have owned 9, all ex Irish Defence Forces.

I currently own 3.

Cost from factory at this time £ 120,000

These are, still, hand built, hence the high cost.

Yes, we are in Beltring every year ,for the last 5 anyway.

We travel the 1300km as a group. I only have the one Fox I sold the other to an American over a year ago. I'm working on another Acmat at the moment.

I'll start a thread in the restoration Section.

This page has some of the groups vehicles at a show this year. Not all of them are there but if you go into some of the other threads you can see most of the groups vehicles.

if it's ok I can put up a link to our site?

I'm a military vehicle collecter here in Ireland and a member of the Irish Military vehicles Group. We have 40 members and around 40 vehicles.
