GKN SANKEY FV432 ARMOURED PERSONNEL CARRIER

GKN SANKEY FV432 FOR SALE !!

I have owned this example for a few months now having accepted it as part exchange on another vehicle. . I didn't set out to buy one of these. it sort of came my way and curiosity got the better of me. Having satisfied my curiosity on these vehicles now it is for sale

This vehicle is fitted with the Rolls Royce K60 multifuel  engine . meaning it can run on petrol or diesel ( or a combination of both) - so if you can buy contaminated fuel

from your local recovery company you can run this very cheaply. It starts and stops and the batteries charge. The gearbox seems to work well. as does the handbrake / steering  system.

 The trackpads are about half worn and some  ( 2 ) of the rubber on the road wheels is split. The engine has done about 360 hours . and does  smoke a little  ( but that may  be because its not been properly warmed up and the fuel in the tanks is stale).   One of the pictures

 shows that the filter unit off the offside has been removed . this is purely so that it will fit in my shed ! I do have the filter units as well as the smoke tubes. Its an ex film start having been used in the first Captain America movie.

The exhaust is blowing inside the engine compartment and generally  it needs plenty of TLC. It has the usual bent brackets. missing parts . rusty bits that you might expect from a 50 year old vehicle

 It comes with its military history ( nothing exciting) and some manuals and a parts list. Its  a good project vehicle and will sell for well below the £8k price tag seen on better examples. Ideally  looking to sell for about £5250.

If you have any questions please call Jim on 07866 367059.                It is for sale elsewhere . HMVF forum etc. so I reserve the right to remove the listing and end auction early if it is sold by other means.

Clearly its a labour of love project on tracks. and I know a lot of enthusiasts who would love to own this but don't have £5k spare . I am open to quirky part exchange ideas.   Currently looking to find a small car for my stepson

after he managed to wreck his last weekend up one of the local country lanes. Kids eh. !         He wants a VW Lupo or similar small VW. I Will also consider de-acs in lieu of cash or interesting military vehicle P/X type ideas. No landrovers though please.

Not that I have anything against Landrovers :)   I have always wanted a Ransome crawler also if your looking to get rid !! !! So you can see I am quite open to p/x ideas.

Viewing is welcomed  - It can be seen AT    DE65 5DL   FOSTON. DERBYSHIRE. Please call for details .     I am happy for this to be sold to a foreign bidder . and will assist in arranging for export. All transport and  export charges to be met  by buyer.

Any questions please give me a call.   Good luck
