FV601 (R.I.P.)

I stand corrected Note to self: Brush up on WW2 light armour

I may be wrong but I have a feeling this is a Ford Lynx scout car ..........Dont take that as gospel though as I am only guessing

Fiver is nothing these days so no worries mate will be there in force all going well. Shame you'll be babysitting Lee .......or should I say grandad sitting :whistle:

Yes they are required. No age exemption on your particular vehicle Neil. I would suggest you ask Lee to take a look at how his one is fitted with belts.

And a big Hi to you as well Bob ;-) Good to have you here hope you enjoy the company

Greetings Nige Glad to see you made it here along with Poj

Many more Essex boys on here and they will call it the Post War Capital of the MV scene :-o Good to have you aboard Mark, hope to see you at the Bunker Show in May.

Day before yesterday finally managed to get to Bannisters to pick up the dual power valve, so Saladin brakes are the next job on the list. Also dropped by a chap near Beltring to pick up an engine deck WITH doors for the Ferret, I have a feeling I will be calling again as he appears to have most of what I might require. Found out a little more about the mods on the Ferret as it would appear to have been modded for mine blasts at some stage with extra ribbing to vertical welded seams, an extension of the hull plate over the petrol tank and bracings to the top of the engine bay. So all in all a pretty good day. Will be travelling "up country" today to pick up a NEW petrol tank for the Ferret as well as an Air cleaner. So the gathering of bits has started :roll: Major concentration is going to be on the Saladin at the moment as it has to be ready for our show in May as well as the Horseguards event in June, so work will be cut out for the next few weeks. Just have to hope the weather is kind

At a glance it would appear to be an Ambulance version coverted to expedition / camper standard. Ive seen a similar one in the 101 club magazine but not sure how long ago. I would not think it was an "in service" vehicle at least not in the UK but it could have been a Dutch version as they had a different Ambulance body than ours. Sorry cant help more than that

Happy Birthday Richard

Offer is there Clive if your Dad is interested no worries in taking him around the Arena Ye who tempt providence will succumb to murphy's law .......remember a little mishap with stopping on the bridge you unbeliever? :tongue:

Welcome Paul Look forward to seeing you at our show in May

Hi Mick Unfortunately 9 out of 10 ferrets do leak at some point / position. It is mainly due to the seals drying up due to lack of movement and becomes noticable when the new owner tends to move the vehicle more than the previous one. On a positive note, it does give an indication that you have oil in the bevel box, so as long as it does not get excessive it really isnt too much to worry about. The other thing to remember, it's British and like Royal Enfield M/C's (Royal Oilfield) they tend to leave a little puddle wherever they park up ;-)

It aint little green men or orbs of light ya aughta be worried about ..............its the maniacs who post these things and seriously believe they exist And I thought owning a MV was cause for being sectioned :whistle:

I'll have to bring a large cardboard box and a tube from a roll of aluminium foil then I can be an M8 Armoured car :whistle:

Tony Sorry I missed its outing today but it really looks great mate. You've done a great job there and its good to see it matching the GTB in colour. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh again now its finished as it looked good when I saw it last at your place. Once again mate well done...........Just got to get on with that International now ;-)

Re the wipers Neil, check the motor connections themseelves as the rain tends to get in there and corrode them away. Had the same problem on my s3 and had to replace the fitting.

Mock all ye may ye unbelieving infedels, He who laughs last laughs loingest :whistle: Clive............really good pictures mate and as has been said its great to have personal history with them as well.

you obviously said p r i c k s just the normal censorship type software that comes with this sort of board is all thats happpening try the other french words you know and see what happens ;-)

I was thinking Neil might have liked to take the course so he could practise escaping from his when he attempts to swim it :whistle:

I have the flu jab annually due to my chest condition (emphysema) and it works for me. Still get colds but nothing as debilitating as you have described, so if the option is available to you I would take it up.

Many Happy returns A thought "Forty is the old age of youth; Fifty is the youth of old age" Victor Hugo

Works for me and I'm there now
