Snapper Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Welcome to the Friendly Forum...it would be interesting to know what it is like operating these British classics in the USA. There is obviously a market for them! Cheers... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the photo of your Saracen, a nice and tidy vehicle there, but notice it is a Mk6 with reverse cooling version and that the front air duct cowling appears to be discarded on the top of an adjacent container. Do you have any overheating issues with it? regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hello... I am a recent US Saracen owner too... living in Ketchikan Alaska. I've been learning about my vehicle for a few months now. Love it, although I wish it was a little easier to check the fluid flywheel levels, and access the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any overheating issues with it? regards, Richard Anyone have any ideas on where I can obtain 12 X 20 Saracen tires (tyres)? Is there a current commercial copy available? My tires are in good shape, but I would like a spare or two. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLeBur Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Gary and welcome to the forum. I was looking at the photo of your Saracen, a nice and tidy vehicle there, but notice it is a Mk6 with reverse cooling version and that the front air duct cowling appears to be discarded on the top of an adjacent container. Do you have any overheating issues with it? regards, Richard Hi, Richard It has only taken me 4 YEARS to see this! I guess that I should log on here more frequently. I apologize for that.And YES! The Saracen is overheating, and we had to pull the front end and repair/replace a radiator hose that seemed to have been sliced by the fan blade. I generally run her with the second top covers propped open a bit. I have updated the turret with wire guided anti-tank missile launcher (French SS11) containers w/carriers on either side of the turret; removed the armored plate on the rear roof; installed a US WWII M49 ring with carriage & trolley in order to mount a M2HB 50 cal; and I am in the process of designing a mount in order to place a L39 20mm Lahti anti-tank rifle on the top of the turret. I also have the front shield and rear bell off the turret of the M113 ACAV APC, but there's so much stuff topside already, I'm about out of imagination for where to fit them......I am still looking for seat cushion bottoms and backs for all the troop seats. I am also in the process of fabricating a new aluminum full size fuel tank for the vehicle, which is taking a while, as it is a custom one-off, hand made fabrication project. This fuel tank replacement project does worry me, as I don't want to blow up due to static electricity, etc. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Again, I am very sorry for my disappearance. Sincerely, Gary Rubel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
