A34 Comet



Vehicle belonging to Ian Galliers seen at the Shropshire MVT club D-Day 60th anniversary show.

Ian Galliers A-34:  Firstly my thanks goes to Ian who put up with my pestering. Ian had purchased this vehicle from the Geneva military museum when it closed down. It is fitted with a Meteor Mk 4 (Centurion) engine. The vehicle recently suffered a broken track and is still missing a few internal parts, Ian also borrowed a set off cooling fans from Bovington whilst he is having his made.
