Absolutely gorgeous ! Please do not restore it. Yes, get it runnning and service the brakes ect. but don't break it down or sandblast anything! It is nearly as nice as the South African GPA.

What does everyone else think ?

Here's the link to the thread with photos:

Did the person you bought from know any of it's military history ? Who did the former owner buy it from ?
