This Stuart was one of those that was brought back from Portugal by SECO. These Stuarts were reconditioned by American Car and Foundry towards the end of WWII and transferred to Canada. Canada transferred them to Portugal in the 1950s. This Stuart has the serial number ‘5188’ and registration number ‘USA 3048300’. It took part in the 2004 MVPA Convention in Mobile, and has been involved in other events. (Source: R. Withrow/G503).
