Oops.

 

 

 

 

Any help on location of the vehicles would be great.

Maybe someone knows Martin Rigby who was the last owner of them?

Terry can you remember what year that was ?

Hi everyone 
Does anyone have any information on the vehicle is the photo? 
It’s called the Shadow it was designed by South African company for Alvis and there was 2 of them released along with the Alvis Acorn that’s recently been sold. 
The 2 Alvis Shadows were sold and the story goes they went to the Channel Islands but that’s where the story goes cold. 

I’m hoping someone here might know more info and possibly help me find them and put me in contact with the owner. 

This isn’t the same Shadow that is Humvee based that is owned by someone at the Alvis Fighting Vehicle Society.

Wheeler dealers didn’t have the pick of the yard 

That Humvee was owned by Steve the guy who showed them the yard on behalf of govplanet. 

That Humvee was planted there for them to pick. It was owned by the guy Steve. 

If they were to buy one they would have had to be US citizens and also had to wait 3/6 months for paperwork to clear. 

If anyone is interested in buying a HMMWV in the UK please check out my website Humveeking.com or PM me on here for into on latest stock of vehicles I have available as website isn’t always up to date. 

Cheers

HI LUCY

 

I remember the TACTICA it came to LECONFIELD in the late 1990s 4 arrived two painted green and 2 painted white they were given to the EOD team for trials they were to go against IRON EAGLE and ACORN vehicles all were sent up to Otterburn for cross country trials. I have found some spare copies of the sales brochures which says they was a choice of 4 diesel engines and 8 role types, if you would like a brochure please pm me with contact details.

 

Regards

Hi Wally 

Have you still got the Brochures? 

I would love to get a copy as I’m looking to buy the Alvis Acorn and restore it.

I like the descripton for the MTLB:
 

The BTR is the better proposition I think for those interested.  The aerials on top indicate it might have been either a comms relay or command & control type in which case getting hold of all the radio kit will be a long and time (and ££'s) consuming job.  Sounds like it could be got running easily enough and a few weekends with a needle gun and paintbrush would tidy up the outside nicely so it looked presentable.  Not enough shots of the interior to see how that is and whats needed to complete it (other than the radios).  Sad thing is - unlike a SKOT-64 - the BTR is still over the 2.55m limit. 🙁

Your get it registered there idiots at the DVLA 

just have to word it right 

I get Humvees registered with them all the time never had an issue.

Hi Guys & Girls

Not sure I've posted in the right area but what I'm looking for is help/info/contacts regarding buying retired/surplus/obsolete/phased out vehicles from Portugal.

The vehicle I'm looking for is the Bravia Chaimite 4x4 APC and there being phased out and put in storage and replaced by the Pandur II 8x8.

It would be cool to save one or more from the Scrapyard and get them in to private hands

Does anyone on here have contacts with the Portuguese Military?

Can anyone on here help me in regards of who I should contact?

Ive contacted the Portuguese Embassy and they haven't got back to me.

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

Tom

Hi guys

Currently researching this vehicle and wondered if any of you knew how many of the Second Gen Production batch still live and where are they?

Ive seen a few in the U.S. and it looks like two in private hands and two in two museums.

So where are the rest of them?

Does anyone on here have one?

Know of one for sale?
