Rangie Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi All, Just rooting around for history of my Shorland. The previous owner bought it from a Dealer/Distributor type in Retford, Notts in approx 1994/5. Anybody any clue who that may have been? PO cannot recall. MV Dealer or just a purveyor of unusual equipment :-D Any ideas gratefully received.... Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hall Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If it is AF Budge, he passed a few years back. His busines is still going as Ryton Arms, he may have had other business' too I guess. When I was last up there, there was a tank and some small fighting vehicles outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 yes they did, they made a prototype and tried marketing it... They had one on their stand at the British Army Equipment Exhibition (the showcase to other governments) in 1990's along with a Perkins diesel powered M151 Mutt.
