Stormin Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Not that many about in this country that I'm aware of, certainly very few come up for sale. Army Cars Holland have a few lined up as spares vehicles I believe. I also know of another one that's possibly a spares repairs vehicle. Are you looking for a complete driving vehicle or a project? There's a couple advertised on Milweb also in Holland and also restoration projects. Holland seems to be the place to go to find one. I believe Mark Heliops also sourced his over there and shipped it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly think It'll outrun my WWII diesel engined one. The original petrol was only good for 45mph, so anything remotely modern is bound to be an improvement performance wise.
