Bristol Austin 10. pares.

I am looking for information & spares for a Bristol Austin 10 tractor I have found in South Africa.
Can anybody help?

Is it built from an old car or is it a Bristol crawler? Photos would help, note limit (3072KB) on photo size when uploading.

Thanks for the reply.
It is a Bristol 10 tracked tractor with an Austin 10 engine.
Half the engine is missing and most of the bodywork.
As you can see the gearbox is pretty rusted because the main steering shaft and gears were removed, leaving it open to the weather. I have poured in a whole bunch of old motor oil to loosen everything up. I will leave it for a few days and see if I can salvage something.The steering shaft and clutches and gears are also missing.
We are currently taking it all apart and will send everything off for sand blasting, followed by a good primer paint coat.
Would you have, or know of, any spares for this beast?
Hope the pics come through ok.
If you send me an email address I could send a whole bunch of pics.
I have just finished restoring a Caterpillar No. 1 Terracer and was looking for a period tracked tractor to pull the Terracer. That is why I bought the Bristol 10.
