AndyFowler Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi combat , welcome and good luck with your Pig hunt ! When you get one please drive her very gently as the uparmoured Pigs really struggle with their weight ! Back axles must be well lubricated and driven as if they are about to break (or they probably will) also brakes are only just up to the job in all honesty so must be in tip top conditition ! All that said I get huge smiles per gallon out of my old girl ! Kind regards Andy :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be mental! :-D As you might of noticed, HMVF stands for "Humber Military Vehicle Forum" a search will produce no end of Pig related material, and Clive Elliot has a few articles in "Clives Corner" which are centred around the Humber FV1600 range of vehicles. This is my MK1 FV1611b (with winch). Not happy with the fact that it is the lightweight & nippy MK1 GTI version, i like to retard the performance with a Brockhouse 1 Ton trailer!

Adam Elsdon Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Terry, have a look at the Scottish Military Vehicle Group website, under sales and wants, there are a couple of pigs for sale, they have been on for ages, so maybe well open to negotiation, and he is on the west coast. http://www.scottishmvg.org/1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
