There are only two originals left, one in the Curragh (ARR2 Sliabh na mBan) and another in the Tank Museum in the UK. The one for sale (Tom Keogh) is one of the 12 the Irish Army scrapped the bodies of in 1952!!! :eek: The chassis were sold off for as little as £70.

Tom Keogh (ARR1) has a replica body in mild steel on the original chassis.
