    African equivilent of the Swiss army knife...apparently very effective for hammering in replacement Landrover wheel studs

    Put things into perspective who in their right mind would undertake ever restoring a Hippo, they are not exactly rare, a perfect running Hippo sold recently on ebay for £1400, the latest one for sale, looks a very tidy example, has as yet no bids at £2250

    Clive, I'm trying to think back to my L/R days, the later vehicles used a thinner wheelnut Re.ser3 hence the shorter stud speak to Phill Bashall @ Dunsfold L/R on 01483 200567 I'm sure he'l be able to help

    I've met the man who runs Tanks for sale just before christmas, a nice genuine bloke, he was handling the export of a number of MV's including one of mine, He apparently buys and imports the Russian stuff himself, knows his way around all the paperwork and permits, he sure had a large stock of hardware for sale when I was at one of his storage yards.

    Charlie Morgans at Bishop Waltham Hants in the late 1960's there was a mountain of crated Canadian universal carriers stacked up....couldn't afford one plus the transport then
