Owned and restored by Chris Camps from Sheffield
This vehicle was manufactured in the US and transported to the UK just prior to the end of WW2. The vehicle was sold to Argentina in 1949 where it was as used by Argentine army for many years. After disposal by the Argentine Government the vehicle was stored in a warehouse in Buenos Aires for many years. The current owner went to BA in 2013 and having agreed a purchase then spent over 5 years trying to get the correct export permits etc. This is one of only a handful of this type.
Work thus far has involved a complete strip down and shot blast of the hull, a s well as a complete strip and rebuild of engine and gearbox. Fabrication of missing parts has been done by using original drawings together with extensive repair of damaged and rusted parts. It has undergone a full respray and application of the correct markings.
The next steps will involve a full rewire, replacement of tracks and re-manufacturing of steering linkages using the originals as patterns.
