Good Evening Everyone,
Earlier this year I purchased my first CVR(T) from Tanks-A-Lot! in the UK.
The engine was from a Spartan that participated in Op Granby in Desert Storm.
Obviously, that Spartan had a petrol engine at the time.

The last unit it was assigned to was the 38 Seringapatam:

I'd love to hear from any veterans that from the unit, or anyone that may have photos, or additional history.
Apparently the cargo box took fire in a few separate instances.
From my researched it appears this Spartan was in the lot of rebuilds before the Scimitar Mk. 2s.
Let me know if you guys have any questions, or observations.
