A. Rosenhøj
Thank you for a splendid an interesting classic snowmobile web site. I am living in Belgium, where I have my 28 year old Everest 340 E, still in a running state. I purchased it in Montreal, Canada, when I was a mining engineer at the Black Angel Mine, in Marmorilik, Greenland in 1979. In fact, by going again through my archives, I found the initial spare part manual, part no. 480 1102 00. It
indicates Everest and Everest L/C "Ski-doo '79'; my invoice when purchasing
the machine as new in October 1979 also indicates 1979,
The
snowmobile, by the way, was purchased from Pigeon Marine & Sport Inc.,
I started the machine up Sunday 18/6-2006 after 10 years of slumber, it worked marvelously once I had drained some water from the petrol filter. I also took some photos which I shall send you later to-day, with a list of the parts which I am looking for. First,
however, I send you a number of photos from its first winter in West-Greenland,
and the time it spent
Some of the photos from Denmark are polaroids of low colour quality, but I send them for documentation. You are free to use these on your site, if you should wish so. I probably have a few photos somewhere from 1995 when driving it in Belgium in Val-d'Arimont. yours faithfully. John THANKS JOHN FOR THE GREAT PICTURE! I'M
