ArtistsRifles Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Up on ebay right now is a Mk 2 Stalwart described thus: 6 x 6 wheel drive, air over hydraulic disk brakes all wheels 5 forward, 5 reverse gears, Rolls Royce B81, 8 cylinder petrol engine, 4 ton bough winch, powered 4 wheel steering, with some amphibious equipment still fitted. MoT exempt. Good runner and driver. And in a rather "unusual" colour scheme: Wrote and asked what was missing from the swim kit etc. and the reply was: the stolly was painted by the previous owner. the cab interior is reasonable with a new drivers seat and left hand passenger seat. the missing swim gear is the drive shafts to the hydro-jets to bevel boxes, the tiller levers and control rods and the bilge pumps but i have a new electric bilge pump. the centre right side wheel station is presently being replaced, i have all the parts required for this, all other wheel stations are in good order.the dropside seals appear to be in reasonable order but without floating the vehical its a bit difficult to tell. i have photostat copies of some of the manual including an illustrated spare parts manual, also i have a 24v petrol generator set (Battary charger) that i will let go with it. Sounds to me more like ALL the swim kit that was removed is missing!!! Still - if the trip this weekend gets no results I'll go take a look at this one if he hasn't sold it by then!!

Yorkie Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 It's a monster of a wagon, isn't it? I got a cabby of one that my younger brother's unit operated (as a swop for a ride in a Gazelle), and had a right laugh. 8) Not sure that SWIMBO could live with one in the drive, which is a shame. Elder brother used to work for Alvis customer support: I'm not sure if they've flogged off their stock holdings, or not. They were holding some stuff a couple of years back, so you might be lucky with a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
