No but changing a track is a lot more involved & I wouldn't want to have to change all the pads on the tracks.
'Track Spreaders' look to be hard work

Insurance is easy
Footman-James, for one, offers cover
Sadly I think he's outside the AA's weight limit
hobbit:
Depends on how old the motor is, all the cvrt range vehicles started with v8s, and later onto diesel, just looking at the barrel size
With track pads they can be a laugh, never follow one to close, with the speeds these things can do they can fly off like a bullet, definately ruin your day
Track pins and stretch can be a problem, but not so much for a motor like this, as it wont be hammered probably as much as the army would have done so, so wear and tear will be a lot less
Still cost a fortune for the spares though

I'll stay well back if I see it out then :lol:
There used to be an Abbott outside a pub at the side of the M62 at Pontefract (jct31) but that's disappeared recently, & another Abbott (& a Ferret) in a house garden on the A61 between Wakefield & Leeds

I'll tell Mark to keep me informed & ask if he needs assistance, though I suppose he'll be joining the Yorkshire branch of the Military Vehicle Trust?
hobbit:
Might be better joining the local branch of the territorial army, armoured unit :wink: :lol:

Wonder how much he paid for it? Would be great fun to see people's reactions. And the insurance is cheap!
