I did Ralph. Immediately thought of Mr. D :wink: I also noticed the M47 sitting in the backround. There were some photos posted over on the other G a while ago taken in Portugal of an MV scrap yard and there were some real treasures sitting in that yard unfortunately, it all got scrapped to make way for a football (soccer) stadium.

Fernando,
Welcome to the site. Thanks for posting those images!

About half of them have yellow light's..... Why ????
I think there is no reason for that. Here in Portugal we dont have fog......

Fernando: yellow headlights were used in Vietnam. Now they are for sale here in the U.S. on Ebay for about $80 a pair...when you can find them. A couple of members of this board have used them on their MUTTs.

Welcome to the site. Thanks for posting the photos. What are your plans for the mutts, parting out or selling whole?

Nice buy! 200 mutts is a big catch, we also have disposal by lots but not that big!
The good thing is you would need to spend a dime on a getting one or two on its feet for yourself.

Have you guys notcied that most are A2' with fender seats mounted. Unusual to to have an A2 with a rear of an A2 configured as an 825. :roll:

Fernando: Boas vindas to the 838. Fantastic auction and glad you got it. Did you buy the tanks also? If you are planning to sell the Mutts please be sure to post the info here on the 838. Also, not to forget for all the pictures, bem vindo.

Sherwan: I think the TOW version had the rear seats on the A2.
