New Zealand Armoured Carrier

While our C15 rebuild has priority, James Gosling's latest project arrived from New Zealand this week.

It was delivered as part of a multi-load to a well known yard in Kent, where we collected it yesterday.

Only three of these vehicles in the Northern Hemisphere.

Weighs around 6.5T and "under" powered by Ford Flathead V8. 

Will be a challenge to drive on road as seating position is down in between chassis rails and some distance back from glacis plate. I've driven James' WWII Fox on the road where you just look through a "letterbox " slot, but you head rests up against the armour so visibility was acceptable.

Will be a while before work starts on this NZ Carrier, but here are a selection of photos to whet appetites and will update when work commences.
