TooTallMike Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Well I'm guessing MiketheBike didn't buy it then! - Mike Quote
MiketheBike Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Mike, no, I asked a few times for photos to see what it was like before going down to Salisbury, but as I didn't get any I was worried it may not actually exist. Bidding stopped at £999, so I guess Mad Cow made him a better offer closer to the reserve? Are you willing to expose the sale price, and did it come with the other bits he had...the accumulator charger, deacs etc? How did it sound when you fired it up? Mick Quote
lynx42 Rick Cove Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Must have looked funny with all 6 wheels spinning as it was towed down the road. Either that or you must have disconnected the rear hubs somehow. Interested to know what you did as I have to shift mine within the next 2 months. Regards Rick Quote
Mad Cow Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 Hi all yes everythink. runs fine a bit of a miss moves under its own power but only a few meters each way so far . As for towing you must disconnect drive or the police will not like the wheels spinning a big no no. I took up the rear floor 8 bolts captive and removed the circlip that holds the prop sleve on.pushed it up to disconnect the prop both sides . It was a great price ,,,,,,,,,,,, inc 2x .30 brownnings ww11, 2xmk1 bren 1939 and a 1941,mk2sten 18 of bren mags all full of rounds boxed 12 sten mags all full and with mag satchels ,slings .30 rounds in on belts havent counted yet but 4 boxes full.

Mad Cow Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 Drove stolly round the field, seems fine .std missfire and the winch cable needs sorting as its rapped round the drum while loose wound unwind. But back to the thread . DO I PAINT SARACEN BLUE? Hong Kong? DO " " " GREEN Army? Quote
MiketheBike Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Well...if you want to stand out in the crowd, Hong Kong Police Blue it must be. It would most likley bet h eonly one in the country? Quote
Poptopshed Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Do you know where the last owner had it from? I remember their used to be a couple of Hongkong police Saracens Parked at the back of a yard on the edge of Lichfield. Always wondered where they went. Quote

DO I PAINT SARACEN BLUE? Hong Kong? DO " " " GREEN Army? If the individual vehicle's last role was Hong Kong Police, maybe it would be easier and cheaper to kit it out thus, in which case it would be an interesting and unusual variation. But having served on Saracens, I'd struggle to recommend anything other than green. Quote
Mad Cow Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 I do remember them at the old ford dealers as i recall it could be who knows there fait.wonder how many are around? Hong Kong Police Quote
