LVT-4 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 G'day I'm new to this forum Looking at obtaining a LVT Interested to hear from any LVT owners and anyone who knows of surviving AMTRACs, Parts and Manuals. (even general enthusiasts) Amazed at the lack of general information on surviving LVTs, parts etc Does anyone know of any LVT organisations, clubs or Association's around? Trying to put together a listing of all the LVTs around. Please feel free to email or message me. waxx76@bigpond.com Thanks Jason's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVT-4 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thank you General Lee and Wally Dugan. That list is just the tip of the iceberg I bet! Wally is the LVT-3 kept active or is it on display? Would you by chance know the Serial Number of the LVT-3 ? Kind regards Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZITIM Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi, Check this old post out. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?45098-AMTRAK-found-in-remote-location&highlight=amtrak Regards, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVT-4 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi Tim Thanks for the link The LVT-4 from NSW has found a home in The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum in Cairns,QLD. They have another restored LVT-4 already on display. This LVT-4 from NSW is currently having work done on it. The other LVT-4 is still on mornington Island as far as I know. Because of the remote location, it would require a lot of cost to get it out. Kind regards JASON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZITIM Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ah, I saw the Cairns one parked around the back of the museum a few days ago. Maybe his plan is to build a dam out the back and take tourists for rides. I might be up on Mornington Island early this year, and if so, I will get more photos.
