Sexton 2 SPG, Manufactured 1944, serial number 1903, S-287191.
Running and driving
condition as seen and operated at War and Peace Show 2009.
This vehicle has recently
been imported from the USA, having been previously imported into the USA
from Portugal in the 1980’s and has been subject to re-commissioning
at our workshops.
This is re-advertised
due to an apparently serious buyer being unable to complete the payment.
Work has included
stripping out all controls, engine, oil and fuel systems. All steering
and mechanical controls have been overhauled, a refurbished fuel tank
and associated pipe work have been installed. A refurbished oil tank and
oil systems have been installed.
A replacement R975
engine has been fitted and is in good running condition. The engine is
fitted with Bosch magnetos and a NOS carburettor has been fitted. The
engine starts and runs well.
Missing road wheels
were replaced and a NOS set of Canadian Dry Pin tracks fitted.
Rear idler adjusters
have been un-seized and are operational.
Other works have included
fitting a NOS 25 Pdr gun with all its sliding block and firing mechanism.
This gun is live fire and can be sold to a suitable licence holder or
deactivated prior to delivery. The gun mount is fully operational and
has both elevation and traverse gearbox’s.
The Aux Gen is still
fitted in the rear generator compartment and is untouched.
This vehicle is ready
to use as is at events like ‘Tanks In Town’ or paint/restore
as required.
£POA.
Part Exchange considered.
