fv1609 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hello Nuno, nice to see the Lightweight. Is that a Dutch one? Do you happen to know if any of your security forces/police still use Shorland armoured cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoranWC51 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Welcome Nuno, That's a nice looking Light-Weight! I looked at some in Denmark (Midtjysk Reservedelslager in Viborg) that had a bunch of ex Danish army ones some years back. Most were in sad shape but there were a number of really restorable ones there too. Do you have any MV club in Portual? I helped start the MFHF in Sweden in 1981. As always, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, Hi, I don't think here in Portugal is any Club about Military vehicles, but sometimes, off-road clubs organize encounters to only military vehicles. http://www.clubettoeiras.com/Album%20de%20Memorias%20do%20Clube%20TT%20de%20Oeiras/2007%20-%201%20encontro%20veiculos%20militares%20antigos/index.html http://www.clubettoeiras.com/Album%20de%20Memorias%20do%20Clube%20TT%20de%20Oeiras/2008%20-%202%20encontro%20viaturas%20militares%20antigas/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I found the 22 fuses rather tiresome! Shorland see below, site is not built up yet but gives an outline: http://www.shorlandsite.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
