Marcus Glenn is a good company to deal with. I originally thought about the fv432, but I decided tracked vehicles were too much and to stick with wheeled.
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.
Roger that HRD. I emailed them, didn't hear a response though. They don't seem to be big onto sales. I LIKE their tracked russian artillery though.

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$. Needed a lot of work, had been primered and painted but left out in the open for several years.
No idea about parts, but if I can get it here and the opportunity arises I'd like to re-engine it with a cummins 4bt or some sort of domestic run of the mill gas v8.
I'm sitting at 6500$ that's coming in a few short weeks. I have until this summer to raise 11k$, and that's compromising a little.
Not including transport fees and port fees from Galveston to DFW.
I've never heard a bad word about Duncan. I will haggle with him on the price, waiting on another deal though. 4k$ for shipping sounds steep. Maybe I can get him down to 10k$ shipped.
No, it's a Hungarian csepsel 4cyl diesel engine.
It weighs 7.5 tons. The seller says it is all there and with a little work can be made to run again. It's been sitting for a few years, so he says. For 4k gbp he said he'd paint it and get it running.
It's a Czechoslovakian OT-65, their own...
