Does the reg No. relate to a different vehicle?

[Marmite!!]

or is it the gunners sight wrong & periscopes appear to be missing??

[alan turner (RIP)]

the whole image has been reversed and then the 10 union flag and id plate cloned on the correct way.

Ok, there are a lot of things wrong with this vehicle, but thats not the one I had in mind...

No, all CVRTs are Left Hand Drive.

[alan turner (RIP)]

OK then has it weed itself?

No driver hatch? Periscope seems to be there

 

Doh, course it's there...

They all do that too, especially if you leave them out in the rain, like mine is today....

The hatch looks ok to me...

[Lardrover]

Yep, having a Senior moment. does the turret sit so high on the ring though?

Yes, that's the adaptor ring to mount the Fox turret to the Scorpion hull. The turret rings are slightly different diameters.

[Degsy]

Is it the colour and the coalition markings?

[CVRTNick]

Is it a Sabre done up as an Op Granby (Gulf war 91) vehicle & none went there?

[montie]

Chris,

 

The problem is that it is not mine!!

 

Cheers.

[Lewis Garner]

A complete shot in the dark, the transmission covers are bolted in place?

[theredkite]

I'm with CVRTNick and Degsy. The hull might have served in Granby, but the turret wouldn't. A bit like my Scorp, except my turret seems to have been in Granby but the hull hasn't.

[Willyslancs]

Its not a jeep!

[sirhc]

Lewis, there's nothing wrong with the bolted deck. Mine is like this and the Scorpions were built this way originally - it's a pain when you want to check the gearbox bay!

 

Nick and Degsy are correct, this vehicle wouldn't have existed in this form in 91, it was only converted in 94/95.

 

But... there's still something else nobody has noticed yet, so keep trying!

Hi All,

 

Heres my two pennies worth, the barrel looks odd, not got the flared muzzle as I would expect on a rarden. And without looking at another vehicle, the smoke discharger looks upside down.

Dougy,

The smokes are the right way up. The Rarden has a smoke discharger cover on the end, and it's hard to tell from the light but I think it looks ok.

 

There's still something nobody has noticed yet, hopefully someone will get it today...

[RGJ/H. Alan]

Since i know ho har about these things and every body else who does seems to have asked the questions and still been wrong...... Could it be that what is wrong in the pic is that the cvr(t) seems to have some sort of fluid leaking from the front as can been seen on the floor!

[Bodge Deep]

Weight wrong on the bridging plate?

[CVRTNick]

It’s bound something more diff than the self-recovery ropes are not set-up in the eyelets,at the front?

[Stone]

The mirrors don't look right and some of the turret periscopes seem to be missing...

 

Other than the registration sticker being on wonky I can't see anything else - it's not something silly like the tracks being on backwards, is it?
