paulob1 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Okay just supposing one had £50,000 to spend on toys, what should one do... this is my list... Spartan, Sabre or Scimitar...10-12k Samson. maybe a T72 or T55, maybe an Abbott. a Fug (in hand) got my tatra 813, just got to get it from Scotland thinking about a chieftain but they rarely come up for sale., and i never have the money when they do. anyway serious ideas please... think I would love to have a TM or an MK, just what would one buy..

RattlesnakeBob Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 ...top of my list without a shadow of a doubt would be a Sherman, any model but prefer a welded hull model...with wide tracks...and either a 75 or 76mm..and..and....and.. etc!.. ........if there was any loot left (not out of 50 grand I don't guess there would be hahah!:cry:) it would have to be followed by a halftrack.......

G506 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 A token german vehicle from WW2, lets say a Kubel or Zundapp, definately a half track, Daimler Dingo, Humber MK 2 armoured car. Or instead a 1970s Peterbilt tractor unit and low loader trailer to haul the existing stuff around, hubba hubba Now, where did I leave that lottery ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW200 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 T-72M1 or ZSU-23-4.. The 2nd is hard to find, but would be an unique piece.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get your 10-12k estimate from? I think you could easily spend your £50k and not get 3 CVRTs... not nice ones anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybaggerman Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Dingo Daimler armoured car T55 foden drops large shed to keep them all in dialysis machine because I'd have sold both kidneys to make the 50,000 up. edit: forgot saladin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevpol Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Eland 60, and to keep it company, a M8, and if anything leftover, a RB44 Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think petrol CVR(T)s are over rated, I think the diesel Stormer is a much nicer wagon. I think 50 k is a bit light, considering you need also to have provisioned for a primer mover like a DROPS ( if capable of moving it, cue antarmike on legalities please) or a tractor / trailer or as you call them and articulated lorry. Then you have to erect or kit out the proper building to keep it in plus spares inventory and shop tools. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Foden Drops are very pricey at the moment. Striker would be nice I already have a Leyland Daf DROPS, a foden 8 x4 beaver tail GS and a 14 ton drawbar trailer for hauling them about...could do with a low loader likely at some stage in the future but will need a more permanent storage location first. Other things that interest are a KRAZ, and a BMP..maybe Not sure I have much choice on my theoretical amount... Ferret CVRT T72 Ural 4320 or a fifth wheel Kraz maybe.. A saladin would be lovely but prices are a bit high at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though if someone would restore the ZSU-23-4 from Duxford that would be nice too) The one at W&P this year: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a345/FW200/T72edit.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stal108 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well i have got the foden drops and a saladin but something tracked again i think, i did like the t55 i had(4 years) but it would not fit on the foden. A small tank (not cvrt) Seridan?? i do like them, are there any for sale or in private hands? AMX13 EM petrol not so sure.. what else is there? What ever happend to the abbott with the saladin turret on? That looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd be happy with just a 1950's Commer Q4. :-) A few years ago there were two turned up on ebay at the same time. Both minters, one having spent all its life in storage. The most expensive one went for £2,500. I'd spend the rest on a small plot of land to park it on and a basic shed structure to keep the rain out, oh and fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I would buy something British WW2 Armoured ( Humber AC or SC, Dingo or Carrier etc.), a another Scammell Pioneer and a Cranes 7 1/2 ton recovery trailer to haule it with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
