Thanks for the link! Wow, didn’t know they finally disposed this one off. Would be interesting to see if they’re gonna replace it with something similar. From the auction pic it looks like they didn’t remove the guns though, so looks like the question if they’re gonna remount them to some newer chassis is probably already answered.
