    Dad's battery were given 3 of these in 1945. A piece of film footage of them in use. A scary piece of ordnance.

    How to make a small fortune?

    Start with a large one and get into WW2 vehicle restoration.

    The Morris is tempting. Good thing I have neither space nor time for this.

    All the best

    Actual 251 for sale, along with some other bits & pieces.
    Be interesting to see what the halftrack makes. Not so often real ones come up, and OT810 conversions going for silly enough money.

    Should probably go in strange vehicles, but does have a Merlin engine.
    The Beast up for auction soon, following its creator's death, and I for one would be glad to see the back of the thing. :unsure:

    Unless it's also a magnificent work of deranged genius.
    Never quite sure...
    Rolls weren't impressed, anyway. Which was pushing it a bit given the hideous nature of some 70s rollers.
