I just had a look and the back has been chopped and modified and I don't believe the 6890 number is correct.

Would be easy to put right Colin. Sounds like it has plenty of nice gear with it. Great wheels. Pity it has no pics of the cabin.

Default E Bay Carrier

Hi Guys, the carrier on E Bay was one that I owned in 1967, I sold it off a few years later to a guy in Victoria for the same price that I had paid for it, after all thats all that they were worth in those days he later sold it to a Museum in N S W, and it was bought from there by the present owner two or three years ago, when I bought it straight from the sales in Victoria it cost me the huge sum of $330, it was all original and had 116 miles on the clock, I have seen it some time ago its an easy restoration, and I doubt it has done over 300 miles in its life. its correct number is 3798, regards Ron
By the way I have no connection with the present owner

Default Carrier 3798

Just a little update on my old carrier, just checked my records the millage was 110 miles, yes the sale price was $330, it went from me to a guy in Vic who sold it to the Dubbo museum,if you check the posts on the Forum you will see pics of it, it was then sold at the dubbo museum and ended up in Toowooba Qld, hope this little bit helps Regards Ron

She is a ripper Ron and thanks for the extra info. I bet you regret selling her now.
It will be interesting to see what she will fetch now. Still having the original low miles engine is a huge bonus.

Ron,

Great to see you take the time to add some background to many Carriers which pass along on this forum.

Thanks!
Hanno

Hello Hanno,
Thank you for your comment, I agree with you our hobby is. and should be all about sharing our information the bits of information that we all have should be shared in this way we can help all of our new members to enjoy their hobby and maybe in this way we can help them with their restoration projects, I can see no reason in people keeping information to their selves, we all should remember when we started down this restoration path how little we knew, and how glad we were to find out the little tricks on how to do things, and the reason why? thanks again Hanno, the Forum is in good hands and keeping Geofs legacy going the way he would have liked to see it
