Howdy Folks, I'm looking to buy a Spartan, would anyone know of any available, I got a quote from L jackson for theirs (they have 6, or they did when I spoke to them) and they quoted me GBP$25000 (I don't know how to make the pound sign) which I thought was well out of my budget, Khaki imports also have a couple and they quoted USD$50,000 which also is way out of my budget. I'm in Australia so would anyone also have any information about shipping armoured tracked vehicles into Australia, I've spoken to Customs and they said that as its not armed just treat it like a used car, I've rung department of transport about registering it and they said as long as it has sequential brakes it should be fine. Other than that I'm kind of flying blind Cheers for any help Anthony

Howdy folks, My name is Anthony and I'm from Australia, I've always had an interest in tracked armour, whether it was from my time in Army cadets or when there was a crazy guy that stole an M113 from a local army reserve depot and had a bit of a joyride through my capital city. I'm looking at buying a CVR(T) FV103 Spartan and in my poking around the net for research I found this site so this is my introduction post and would like to say that if anyone has any information that they think would be relevant I would be really interested in it. Whether it be what to look out for when buying tracked armour in general to cvrt's specifically, to exporting armour from the UK, to any manuals you guys think I should purchase or flick through Anyways thats enough of my rambling feel free to pm me to say hello or feed me some info cheers
