YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE FOUND !

Me and the team take a trip down to Dorset, where we find a FV432 APC hidden away amongst the bushes. We take it back to the yard and attempt to start it...

Man you guys have swagger. Everybody’s favourite farm boys show up in their work grubbies, grab the tank, then drive off in a Bentley!

[tomwilliams]

It just amazes me that every other farmer in England seems to have an old APC or tank laying around in their field or barn.

A friend of mine years ago ( who owned a Sherman at the time)told me "there are 2 types of people in this world..those that own armor..and those that wish they did"..love the channel!❤

I love a 432. The sound of the engine, and it’s great to drive. I want to drive one again - after about 50 years!

[terancemcilwaine]

You would not believe me but that was the vehicle 03EA21 that I drove in the army in 1970s it was used as an observation post vehicle in 45 medium regiment

Was there a huge sale at some point that made every farmer in Britian think, 'I'll have one of those, it will look nice in my hedge"?

Only time during the 70's and 80's I came across or saw a mk1 FV432 was when issued to me as our fitter section vehicle in BATUS Canada in 81, fortunately the issued FV434 had a diesel engine fitted. As we were about the 5th battlegroup of the year the bloody thing was clapped out and barely moved without stalling. After a new distributor didn't improve anything we had a right battle getting a new carburettor authorised but that turned out to be the real issue that solved it. I recall out in the dark of the night in BATUS when worked hard, being petrol, the complete exhaust pipe would glow cherry red, about as far removed from a minimum heat signature as you could want.
Like a lot of others have said, I'd love to have a drive of one again 45yrs on (diesel obviously), the sound is iconic to those of us from that era.

The way the world's going that Kit's going to come in handy 😱🇬🇧👍

I would rather watch you lads sorting out tanks than watch tv much more entertaining, keep up the good work.

You guys are amazing fm Western Australia, ex veteran of 20 years service Australian Army
I used to ride around in an APC on operations in Vietnam 1970!
They had 50 cal machine guns mounted + 30 caliber backup. They were used a lot for inserting Australian troops in Vietnam.
We had all APC Squadrons.

What an absolute DREAM. Wagon's looking good (bar the missing spark plugs of course), track pads are in great nick, an extra K60 pack as well.... A dream find. I've every confidence this will be running inside a fortnight. Bloody great. As an ex-436 jockey, I'll be watching how it goes. Tidy 😃

[GazzaBoo]

Nice! My first posting after REME training in 1978 was to an infantry regiment in Germany that had about 80 of these, which was funny because we skipped over the petrol 432 having been informed we’d probably never see one in service any more.. 😂
later I was posted to a cavalry regiment that was all CVR-T. Fun times. 
I was also born in Bovington, Dorset when my dad was posted there.

I've learned a lot of proper english.Listening to you fellas from across the pond.Thank you for the education

[stevesalvage]

Brilliant, every farm must have one, looks complete which is a bonus, thanks for sharing team,

[martynharper]

I drove a 436 (communications variant of the 432) for 5 years in the Royal Signals. Absolutely loved them .. apart from doing a pack lift, a track bash or any other maintenance! but driving them was a dream

[kevinchamberlain]

You never have too many rusty old tanks! It's trying to get the missus to understand is the hard part!

[williesweetjr]

In the US, I'd be happy to get a 57 chevy out of an old barn. In England, you get APC's from some random field! Amazing! As if I haven't subscribed to enough mechanical content now I got to to see what happens next! And I don't need a passport!

[billywindsock]

I love the fact that every time you bring something back from the dead, something in the yard dies.

[larescats]

That is totally awesome And you guys crack me up I think its great to see friends laugh and have a great time. Greetings from Ranchita ca - USA

[terrydove]

Oh I just want you guys in the motherland to know that this Yankee had a teddy bear strapped on the front of my work truck and I have also used my Leatherman since 1989. So I feel that we are somewhat of kindred spirits and I really enjoy your informative videos.
