RattlesnakeBob Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Spotted a while back languishing in a wood looking a bit unloved although pretty much still complete... ..Does anyone have any ideas what it is ???:cheesy: Seems vaguely reminiscent of a WW2 German armoured car to me?....but I'm guessing 1960s /70s American ???? ......and I'm also guessing, the wooden 'greedy boards' on the bed were an 'optional extra after market product' ??..
