This may have been covered before, but the Littlefield collection is being sold on the 11-12 July 2014.
They have a 2 Pound Attack Carrier, oh....they also have other stuff, go to http://www.auctionsamerica.com/event...ion=&category= Quote:

Having seen this vehicle on a couple of occasions, the last time in 2012, I would not agree that it is a 'perfectly restored condition'.
Note the registration number ..... the signwriter must have been dyslexic! Mike C |
O.K. Mike,............can you please explain? I can't see the dfference:ergh:
|
The carrier displays '4086', while the hull number (and hence the correct registration number) is '6084'.

I think you are a bit out of date, Rick. An early error by a conservator, long since corrected (or so I'm told).

Marmon Herrington two man tank
As a matter of interest does anyone know if the Marmon herrington Two man tank is still in the collection to be sold? as I still have the complete driveline here for one Regards Ron
|
All so to a matter of interest is that an air cleaner mounted on the front under the gun ? to me it looks like one out of a Fordson WOT.

These pics are from a forum/Littlefield site from about 5-6 years ago.
Shows that air cleaner. |

Ahh, the 'Zibelfritzer' .... it was a debacle from the moment it was acquired (way, way before my time). The spare wheel was the least of its myriad of problems!! Virtually the only original parts were the floor pan and some fittings.
NOT my favorite collection vehicle, and I would have been quite happy to see it gone/replaced with a more original example. I'd better stop at that point. :bang: Mike C |
kubel
I'll pick up this and kick it along... went and saw the AWM Kubel when I was working on a fellows original one and my Kommanderwagen. This was about 14 or so years back. Somewhere below not good to why bother.
I don't usually comment on other peoples restorations as time, money, ability and drive factors are different for everyone... but the government wasted my money on this one. I don't even like the colour. |

The 'C**perwagen' (got the hint about what I think of it??) was one of several vehicles purchased as a bulk lot from a certain north NSW coast museum owner/restorer (now deceased) who was contracted to undertake a top-class restoration. The AWM received some pretty dubious advice from outside 'authorities' along the way.
Suffice to say, none of the vehicles purchased (I think in the 80s? or 70s?) remain in the AWM's collection except the 'C**perwagen'. Mike C |
