Is LV #41 in any immediate danger?

Hi Reading, LV #41 faces scrapping if none decide to purchase within the next few months if I remember correctly. I'm currently in touch with IRSI and will further inquire about maybe keeping it on the market for a tad longer but thats all I can envision. Now if you're intereted in the unit I'd be more than happy to handout a contact. The #41 is serviceable from what is understood but is now re-built as an RDC-1 loosing its baggage compartment. I'd suggest that if you're really a dedicated LV fan simply go for it given that you have the potential 100k to purchase and move the car.

Cameron Well, I'm not 18 and won't be for a few years, not to say I couldn't pull a move like whoever the 16 year old was that spear-headed the McKeen car group. I would like to see it preserved but it sorta falls under the catagory of "you can't save 'em all". LV passenger equipment if few and far between and that being said is a good enough reason, assuming a group could find proper location and funding for it, to save it. If anyone legitimately would like to start a group PM me, if not I'm ganna have to let this one go.
