Ok, so having chewed over a forsaken M35A2 we viewed months ago..(that is one rough 'duck!) I Have though relented..and decided to 'bring it home', give it a good home, and "restore it as needed". Should be a good project (assignment under guidance) for the cadets as well over the winter months..

Diamond in the rough , w/ winch and hard top, the boys will enjoy working on that, especially if they can drive it when it's done.

Nothing a good steam-cleaner and sand-blaster cannot fix ! Actually looks to be in pretty good condition. The cadets should have a blast fixing this up. Good hands-on experience.

You are MOST welcome, If you decide to come over, And visit our collection here, we would 'pull out' ALL the kit! and you can enjoy the BBQ n Beerz we WILL have ready for you and yours. Stay over a night?. No problem.
And seriously, the cadets and young helpers WOULD REALLY like to meet you, or anyone from steel soldiers.

And on reflection, I would have been at Upper Hayford and Greenham common around then, And that is where the M45 530C came from...small? world.
