De-militarized equipment like that comes up some times. I'm told a local gun shop owner recently purchased some Russian tank to put by his store. They said it had an Oldsmobile engine and could only go about 6MPH. I've yet to drive over and look at it but supposedly he paid $12k.

Then he came up with some really interesting info that the Lancers Barracks in Parramatta have a Centurion also and that is open to the public on request so if anyone needs full details and photo's the Lancers would let people in. Hope that spikes someone's interest in Centurion tanks Regards Alex (2 * T34 , 2 * Tigers. 1 * Panther. 1 * Snow Leopard. all 1/16th scale ) On Sun, Aug 23, 2009 at 5:27 PM, Modena <[email protected]> wrote: George and I are heading over to the Aussie tank museum next weekend.
