    the only thing that happens with the radial in the hellcat is it gets soo hot it vapourises the petrol an obviously and engine with no petrol don't go far. but it is an awesome engine ticks over at somthing like 10,000 rpm

    Whatever radial engine that was in the hellcat sherman and another of other machines. That is pure mechanical porn absolutely beautiful sound one to be savoured if ever given the chance to be on a machine with one in it. thanks AL

    A fair few considering my god fathers was one of them at tanks in town 06 07 08 An m18 hellcat (nugent) I actually have a feeeling there are quite a few armour collectors in the uk I mean the wheatcroft collection has a fair few tanks doesnt it? How many tanks though i think is hard to put a number on Thanks Alex

    a problem i can see with this sort of event as much as i would want it to happen is, that i heard you had to have police escourts everywhere. Tanks in town is good because although yes the police do check things they are not actually part of the convoy. Another problem maybe getting enough armour to the event make it worth while. Thanks Alex

    Yes thought it was a little over priced so too speak. BUT Someone who i know to be in the market for a Sherman was quoted 50,000 for a complete wreck surely a sign of how much things have gone up by

    Interesting I would persoanally sell one and restore the others. The reason for selling one would be to get money to afford spare parts turrrets etc. But OMG I WANT THEM Alex

    I'mnot sure this is in the right place but... Imagine what one would do with all of these considering they are prbably worth 50,000 as is? http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoelstra/g104/images/p-apc1.jpg Would you Restore/Sell/Put in shed for years on end Just thought id share Alex

    Well when i spoke to him at tanks in town (end of august) he had just got them back from Brazil so he must have sold them very quickly. Or before he even had them. He's a rare fellow though always a story to tell. Anyway goodluck with the search catweazel Alex

    Not america i think you'll find as i was told by the man himself from BRAZIL! Yes they recovered about 20 of them and i wouldnt like to guess at a price. Interesting man stalwalt if you ever get to meet him well known for his involvment in military vehichles. And for praking a dukw on a mulberry harbour and sleeping on it over night. Anyway there you have it Alex
