Well, we know there is only one as-new running A57 multibank encased in M4A4
in the world over here and that is shortly to be based over there, CA
actually, so I think you know who has bought it. I'm minded though it comes
under Lend-Lease so it will be interesting to see what evolutions are
invoked to have it imported to the US, perhaps "Museum" is the key-word.

It is an easy engine to get, other running M4A4s use this route as a power
source and without the radiator hassle too, which for an A57 is as
difficult/impossible as gathering engine parts.
