polecat paul

Hi all I have just brought a very tidy ex military series 3 88" but there's a few bits I would like to change, I'm hoping somebody on here may be breaking one or have the spares.

I am after a full set of

• hood sticks including the windscreen part

and also

• Seat bases for military seats

I am located in Shrewsbury ,Shropshire so anyone local to that even better!

Worth a read through for those who are interested

Hi all, I'm hoping somebody may help but many years ago I was friends with a chap by the name of Ivor Jones from the Shropshire MVT, unfortunately we found out that he passed away as we lost touch after we moved to North Wales, I've since found some pictures of his vehicles and at the time of me taking the photo I joked with him and said if ever you sell the lightweight please give me first refusal, I was wondering if anybody knows what happened to it after he passed? 

Yes this is owned by a friend of mine Clive

This is the type I'm after with this tyre style , this one is on eBay at the moment but in Bury st Edmonds which is a long way from Shrewsbury and the seller isn't getting back to me regarding couriers

Hi unfortunately not that type, I think that's a very early type 

As the title says I am after one wheel for a sankey trailer with standard tyre suitable for a field kitchen, based in Shrewsbury cash waiting

Very interesting to see this,I own polecat 2 which is also one and more complete, waiting it’s turn for restoration

Well I’m toying with the idea of selling my 101 ambulance, it will need recommissioning due to not running for several years, will need new tyres and a complete strip down of paintwork due to multiple layers, any interest?

Thanks for the link,to be honest I’m a bit out of the loop in the Pandy world didn’t realise he was retiring wonder if any of the vehicles will be for sale?

For all the CVRT owners a heads up for alot of new spares being auctioned off on Brightwells auction site, finishing today! 

What price is he after? 

I'm having a sort out of my barn as we will be selling up and moving and I came across this ex military fuel/oil can not sure of the age or what it did hold, does anybody know? 

I am after an ex military defender tailgate with the attachments still fitted for the pioneer tools, cash waiting ,shropshire area 

I’m sure the winch on my Bv206 is a Sepson but as I’m in lockdown and the vehicle is 40 miles away I can’t check sorry, if you do find any info I’m after solenoids for it!

For those in isolation or at a loose end, might be worth a read through this as the dates are again relevant!

Take care everybody!

sorry always thought it was merrick! has anyone??

Hi all, I'm after Steve Merrick's contact number (ferret and cvrt specialist from Telford) if anyone could pm me it please

Blimey wished i hadn't said anything now!

You have a pm

I was wondering how much 30 cals are fetching now as I have one that came with my ferret and to be honest it sits in the cupboard under stairs more times than it gets shown, old deact with certificate

No worries 

A Royal Navy medical officer who saved the lives of hundreds of British and Argentine troops during the Falklands War has died, aged 71.

Working amid terrible conditions in the field, Surgeon Capt Rick Jolly, from Torpoint, Cornwall, saved the life of every British serviceman he treated.

He was the only person to have been decorated by both Britain and Argentina for his service during the conflict.

Falklands veteran Simon Weston called him an "incredible man".

He said: "Without his organisational skills the surgeons and medics would never have functioned. I can only thank him for saving my life, and many others.

"It's a tragedy for everyone who knew him and a tragedy especially for his family."

Where is this place, if someone can pm me details I'll start digging to find out what's happening with the collection, worth saving!
