Just a few shots, showing the swap, and range of things being offered for sale. The photos can speak for themselves, but if you look VERY closely at the 4th photo, and just to the right of the flag and leaning up against the wooden boxes, you can see a pair of brass window frames for CMP. Seller advised these were possibly made post war. They were in EXTREMELY good shape and would be an instant frame set for someone!

Only reason I didn't buy them, at $150 the pair, was because the way the top section attaches to the lower part does so in a different way to my already finished passenger side frame.

Yeah, it was a bit hard to see the windscreen frames

Tony,
The jeep body was a snip for $250, was it good inside?
Looks to be a good turnout there.

regards, Richard

Default Jeep Body

Hey Richard!

Yeah, it was in fairly good shape, and I didn't see any heavy repairs needed. It was basiclly a stripped shell, but a good stripped shell, without all the buggerising that happens through the years.

I first saw it at 0900hrs, then went to photograph it about 30min later and the SOLD sign was already there!

Met my mate Andy there, who is a member of both the MJCQ and MLU. When I arrived, Andy told me about a replica MG for sale at $300. By the time we walked to that seller some minutes later, it was sold already.

I thought the tyre chains (16" tyres) for $10 each, was just ridiculously cheap too. You couldn't buy the chain for that, surely.

Next year, I take more $$$ with me.
My pal Andy had to loan me a few quid today, so I could buy the .50 Cal MG turret I was after. Cheers for that Andy.
