carrier on Ebay

[rob love]

I talked to the seller a couple of weeks ago and he indicated he wanted $10500 US $ for it. He also said he turned down an offer of $7700 US.
When this came up last year someone thought it had a $5000 reserve, but that is not the case this time.
It certainly has a lot of potential. It appears as though the armour was cut in front of the driver and the piece put back in. On the plus side, it appears to have hard to get pieces like the tool locker, the bren loading tool box, the antenna mount, the AA stem mounts, the barrel box..... If someone does scrape up the coin it will save him years of hunting by having these right off the bat.
Owner said he was turning over the engine occasionally back in the 70s, but the selling agent last year indicated the engine was siezed, as could be expected after this many years.
It appears someone started stripping off the wiring and oil lines/fuel lines, so hopefully all the parts are there.
Man, this carrier makes me hungry for another. BTW, I am CMPman on E-bay; I currently have the high bid on this but I think it will be pointless.
