Timinder Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 There was an item on the BBC Breakfast news this morning. I missed most of it, but stand by for prices to go up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes I saw that on Breakfast. I thought it was very good, sensible collectors & for once a sensible reporter, without any special angle of neo-nazis, playing soldiers, dressing up, guns etc. Just for once focussing on the automotive side of MV collecting, although guns on the AFVs were mentioned we were reassured that they were de-activated or just replicas. Seemed good PR for all, although tanks only make up a relatively small part of MV collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) A really good read (and watch) - any publicity for Marcus is a massive bonus. But then: "There may soon be more vehicles for Shaun and others to get their hands on...." "Among the cuts: the entire Harrier fleet and 40% of the Army's tanks." Maybe the harriers may enter the surplus market, but a Challenger 2? :nut: The guy in the video seemed like a good ambassador.

ajmac Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Remember that anything with tracks IS a tank. No matter how many times I explain what a Loyd carrier is the only thing that sinks in seems to be TANK. :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
