Striker before I purchased it

I purchased my FV102 Striker from Darrell Hazelton (MilBiz - Near Swindon) 

Darrell had, I understand, purchased 4 Strikers from a scrap yard (?) and mine was the last to be sold by him.   It was a none runner, had been stood outside for around 13 years, the engine was a rusty useless lump of metal and the hull was 8" deep in horrible oily water... !   on the plus, yes there was one, side it was complete.  Sometimes a restoration can struggle if an important item is missing and proves to be difficult to find... or worse parts are missing and you don't even know what they are or what they do !!
