Thanks heaps for sharing this find! Very useful. The photos are a great reference just on their own but the background details are great to have. Thanks again!.

Actually, given there is proper attribution for the source, would it be ok for me to cut/paste just the photos into a post here? Easier to scroll through and zoom in than going through the original article.

You’re welcome.

I guess you could as the article and pictures are available to the public. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Randy

I was at the Classic Bike Show at Stafford, UK, yesterday and there was one in the Bonham’s auction for a guide price of £28K. Seemed pretty reasonable, considering you also got a Infantry cart with it and deactivated machine guns! Very tempting, but fortunately (?) I’ve nowhere to put it!
