Well I was a bidder and a very happy winner of the F15A at $1550. Postage and Handling will run to over a thousand hmm a few dollars there, but still a nice complete truck for the money.

WHY?
Very minor rust in the hatch
Very minor rust in the cab
Original early dash
Chevron tyres but perished.

It had run about 7 years earlier.

Pictures will follow in due course.

What did the 25pdr sell for?

[Tony Smith]

There were no artillery pieces in the auction. There were 6 25pdr projectiles however, fairly rusty with no markings visible $140ea.

[ChrisG]

I saw some 25pdr cleaning rods that were broken up and sold as individual pieces.....

Did anyone get any close up photos of the LVTs?

[Tony Smith]

LVT4 (with Series 1 Land Rover) with no track on RHS, passed in at $4000.

LVT with dummy gun in turret, only has 1/2 length of track on RHS (retained by fencing wire!), passed in.

LVT turret. (Did this sell?)

I agree with all that Tony says....

It was a very long hot day.. Some things were super cheap and some things were mad!

Thanks Hanno, I will photo the truck on Sunday when I pick it up.. It is wrapped in a 'bunny rug' tarpaulin until I can get it properly out of the weather..

I have a few things to do. (well maybe lots) but the truck is good for originality.

Can anyone give me some tips on uploading pics??

I think I have attached the F60!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ian

Have a read of the instructions which should explain it for you.

Looking forward to seeing lots of pics.

[Arron Walker]

Tony,

Thanks for the photos of the LVTs. Looks like they are missing quite a few bits.

I have a bit of a problem with something like this:



When it is advertised like this:

Rare Ford 41 F60 Blitz, ex Australian army Western Desert WW11,orig troop body and fittings. £2300 pounds.

When it is not particularly rare, nor 41, nor ex Western Desert. It also looks to be a 15cwt with a non-original rear body.

Well, yes... Did they sell the F60L with the timber stores body? Perhaps that's the one in which case the misrepresentation only applies to Western Desert, 41 and rare. It also had the doors tek screwed shut.

[aj.lec]

And to boot the neptune bomber and tank turretts are still sitting there
prices he is asking ill say they will be sitting there for a while still

[Ryan]

These are on Milweb too in the vehicle park/ heavy. Offers over $90,000Aus is the asking price.

[sth65pac]

No Keith it was not sold on the day... passed in at about $2000.00. It was in some way better and some ways worser than the F15A I bought. ps it doesnt look like its photo a year ago....

I have attached the F60L photo I took that day...

Shame this one was not offered for sale.

[Shakey985]

They are still there, now for sale or trade, 3 years after the auction. So have his prices come down?. Has any one had a Gecco at the Dimond T? ie how compleat in the running gear.

Shakey, one of the Pucka boys, see you at Corowa

[aj.lec]

The c60s with the fowler crane is sitting out the front too in the sale section
I will drop in one day and have a look at the t
His prices are usually over the top though and dosent move on them much

[aj.lec]

Finally got out to have a look at the diamond t ,not the best thing I have ever seen
chassis plated repair on one side ,no axles and rust in most of the lower cab but other than that mechanically reasonably complete

[aj.lec]

A few more
