I like Stalwarts
There used to be two at a wood, where we MTB raced, & later I attended '4x4 days'
My father-in-law was an instructor for them, when he was stationed in Germany

'Full original swimmer' is good, but 'This tank is in good condition' tops it.

I would like the tank. The council weren't bothered that their speed bump plan would mess me up. I wonder if you can fit a bulldozer blade to it?
Not sure it would fit on the drive. Eons ago whilst at uni, I was cycling along at a fair clip when I heard a noise unlike any other. That was a tank on metal tracks coming the other way also at a fair clip. Unlike me though, (occasionally pinging out the odd stone from under my tyres), the tank was throwing chunks of road hither and thither! I wonder if there was a story behind it? The rozzers wouldn't need a San tracker to find the culprit! Perhaps the council has messed him up with speed ramps and this was payback!

Regarding the Stolly pricing
In the mid-80's, Budge was selling them, from £2000 (although, due to inflation, still a lot of money in comparison)
An, oh, but that engine sound
Almost as good as a V8 'muscle car', ie; a 'Magnum', or 'Hemi'
I've stood behind a Magnum'd ('70) Challenger, & even at tickover, you can feel the exhaust pulses on your chest!

There's an Abbot SPG nearby. Used last year on an Armed Forces Day, the bus following was blowing out more dirt.
No-one tried overtaking though.
I remember a Salvage Squad program on the Stolly.

I have that saved on the TiVo box
It also features Claire Barratt
, the thinking mans 'Charlie Dimmock[QUOTE 5195722, member: 45"]While driving a Metro across Salisbury Plain once I was overtaken by a tank. I think they were showing off.[/QUOTE]
I remember the days of driving around the Catterick area, & coming across 'armour' waiting at road junctions, or crossing it
L Jacksons at Misson, used to have all sorts of interesting machinery, up to & including AFVs
