You mean the "Windsor"? I think highest bid was 35K. I have a screendump at home, will post it tonight.

screendump of the auction. I don't know if the lots were actually sold, or if they didn't meet reserve.

The auctions results show both carriers invendu - not sold.

The T16 "Windsor" is back up for sale: https://military-classic-vehicles.fr...t-16-a-vendre/

Like the Loyd, it failed to sell at auction and is now offered for 49 500€

I now see where the confusion comes from - it clearly says "Windsor" on the plate ;-)

Yes, but it doesn't make sense for the sellers to keep on repeating this error, while multiple people have already responded commenting on the error.

edit; I just read the ad on milweb......more "interesting" comments there. They seem to suggest the Windsor and T16 are identical, which as we know is definitely not the case.

It’s the same text they used for the auction catalogue. Unfathomable why they do not spend a little more time getting the facts right… I wonder they do it on purpose to lure a sucker into buyer it?!?

I tend to think in this case it's the engraved plate and a lack of knowledge/research causing the errors.......but I agree.....some (other) dealers sometimes try to make the ads just a little bit too interesting....C60 APT's with wartime history.......A Morris with a description of a completely different vehicle.....and known museum exhibits that are offered as barn finds.
