Tracks do not provide any more protection than trucks do. Tracked vehicles cannot go as fast, sustain wear more rapidly, and consume more resources.... Speed+armor over tracked vehicles anyday.
And the m548 provides much, much less protection than an armored truck. It's a gutted m113.
So there's like 3 Lizard owners in the US now...interesting. Cool when you think about it. 3 SPAAG.....
Wonder how many ferrets, or brdm2s, or bmp1s in private hands? Can't be many.
Vehicle is 10,000 Euros. Paying for the first 25% in 2 weeks. That will get the vehicle from Hungary to the UK and refurbishment started, then the last 75% before the vehicle ships.

Duncan Nicholson wants 5k GBP for the ot65, I'd like to talk him down to 4000.
The seller is Duncan Nicholson, FWIW.
There's an ex-hong kong Saracen on Milweb in the UK...3500$ GBP. Tanks-a-lot.co.uk has Saracens from 4k to 6500, FV432s for the same.
Mmm. I always miss the good deals. I did find a partially restored mk1 ferret in S. Florida though, 7500$. Needed a lot of work, had been primered and painted but left out in the open for several years.
It's not a feel good idea by any means-it flat out works. Banning normal people-READ: law abiding citizens, does nothing to prevent crime. You just took away the claws from the sheep dog and gave the wolf free reign.
