Hangar 53 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 Thank you, no, I had not, but out of my price range.
justinb Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 you could try tanks a lot , I know they had some for sale . good luck justin
lowfat Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Nick Mead at tanks a lot can be quite expensive. I rang him before I bought mine and he was honest but seemed pricey. I didn't buy from him. ask here https://www.facebook.com/groups/Alvis.HMLC.6.x.6.Stalwart/
Hangar 53 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks a bunch for the links, and advice. Si
Hangar 53 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Where about are you in the U.K.? I'm on the Suffolk / Essex border.
datadawg Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Looking for a Stolly, complete or project, needs to be the right one, will know when I see it. I know of one that was for sale in Florida, USA about 3 months ago. I can put you in touch with them. I think it was cheap, probably under 5 thousand USD.
Hangar 53 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 bit far from me in cornwall Have you one for sale then?
lowfat Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I thought you might like to see first hand what you would be getting in to..
ferretfixer Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 I thought you might like to see first hand what you would be getting in to.. SI, I did try to warn you Mate!.......... Lol
Hangar 53 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Posted March 19, 2017 I thought you might like to see first hand what you would be getting in to.. If I was closer, I'd take you up on that it cant be any worse than my Saracens
lowfat Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Well sounds like you have a good idea of whats involved.
Starfire Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 ...it cant be any worse than my Saracens That's where you're wrong. It's every bit as bad as a Saracen, but with additional drive components and waterproofing to take into consideration. Cool toys though, especially if it's a swimmer. If you are looking to buy one, I would suggest buying the best one that you can find, even if it is more expensive than you had budgeted. Paying to fix things on one that isn't quite right will cost you more than that in the long run. Cheers, Terry
andym Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 it cant be any worse than my Saracens Just different. Like every MV, they have their own individual cursing features! :cool2: Andy
Hangar 53 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks again for the input chaps i don't mind a bit of work. we have a military vehicle workshop, that we run alongside our main one, primarily, as a therapeutic environment for ex service personnel to spend the day tinkering, which helps their mental head-space. its funded by myself, and it's open to anyone to just walk in, and either help, or just see some interesting pieces of history. A couple of the volunteers have an affinity for the Stalwart, hence why I'm trying to find one.
lowfat Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Well I have a proper project that might be available in that case. Its not road registered the engine is out and its totally rotten above the wheels. My intention has always been to repair it. Its a mk2 with bolt in windows. the tillers and wash board are the only things missing from the swim kit. But it ant pretty. It came with my other stalwart buy one get one free.It came with the engine lying in the back.
