Marmite!!

I though yours only had 3 wheel drive & only goes forwards :wink: .

MV insurance includes third party off road cover as part of the policy..

A lot of MV's are MOT exempt.. .

I think you need bigger pennants :wink: :lol:

Hello Lee, That would be No.3 then? According to my notes, I worked on 32BA78, No.4, back in 1980. Also just noticed about the same time, also worked on a Saracen, 32BA24, that must also be an early one. Richard PS had a look at the Saladin yet? Hi Richard, Yep hull No.3 that's mine..still serching for an in service photo of 32BA77 I have found photos either side of my Ferret's number but not mine. We are tackling the Saladin on Friday if our mate has moved his lorry by then, he's parked next to the Saladin & there's trees on the other side so we can't traverse the turret at the moment.. Had the Fox out at the weekend & the gearbox is still A1..Cheers

:? I own 32BA77 the earliest Ferret, Chris McMillan's Ferret if that's who you are refering to is a bit later. I also bought a Sten mount from Chris when I first got my Ferret..

it's ok Im safe, I'll just button down the hatches on the Fox :lol:

John, if Stuart isn't coming you know what that means, we won't have the Teas Maid either:wink: .

Er isn't that pretty much what I said? ;o) This is a Very Early Ferret, Hull No.3 from the first contract of six.. 32BA77 . .

We could probably sort out some outside storage for you not a million miles away from you, I'll check it out tomorrow, we will know this week about the other storage we were talking about..

Why not do a deal with the seller where he delivers (drives) it for a fixed fee & you give him a lift home, if it's as reliable as he says he shouldn't have to much of a problem with that..

What do you mean, IF one breaksdown, surley you mean WHEN or are you leaving Kevin's Ferret in the garage from now on :wink:

Ok you win, I'm not that brave. :wink:

Did we forget to give him one :lol:

Hi Guys, hope everyone got back ok & the Saracen made it back into the fort ok, sorry we had to leave early, nothing to do with the thought of having to push the Sarecen into the Fort if it started playing up again :wink: not a bad MV line-up for a Motorcycle show. Nice meeting you Neil. Just to let everyone know Saracenstump has cancelled his holiday to come to the Bunker Bash but is to scared to tell the wife.. :wink:

Don't know what you mean :wink: :lol: Rob, I picked up the pyro's up for the Mills show last week, found me anything to blow up yet??? Taking the Fox out in an hour & will be getting very wet by the looks of things. If you see 6.5tons of green going past you at over 70mph that be me :lol:
