Alvis Saracen Mk2 96 BA 69

[caiden5678]

Hello! I’m in need of some assistance, I’m after finding and contacting the current owner of the Saracen 96 BA 69 as my grandfather used to drive it when he was a lancer around 74 and would like to see it again! I know he used to go by the username Mettlen as I saw in some posts but no contact for him or anything and he was last seen online in 2016! Help!

Many Thanks.

Thank you so much! We have this photo and we’ve located her I’m hoping to get him a drive in her summer next year!

Hi Caiden, sorry but we have sold Blodwyn 69 and I believe she is going to the USA.

Hi, I knew you sold her but didn’t know she was going to the United States, thank you Andy!! Gutting though

I remember fitting an engine into this Saracen for the first private owner, it was missing when bought. That was around 1996. Later it was sold and stood outside a hotel next to the sea for years. Next time I heard of it was on this forum where a chap from Wales had bought it.

Hi Richard,  yes we bought it from Cardiff as a wreck , hence Blodwyn !

Hi Richard did you know what hotel it was?

All I know was that it was on the coast of Romney Marsh in Kent and they also had a T34 tank there at one time as well.

Okay I’m going to look into it, thank you!
