Hi Ryan,
Iv'e been dealing on this one for more than 18 months. It actually goes up for auction this weekend. The reserve now is $15,000. Not the $3,000 as in your link. It started at $3,000, was then pulled off the market and involved the Sherrifs Office and the courts as there is some dispute over the Estate. It is from a museum which is being cleared. $15,000 is far too much for me so it will be interesting to see what it goes for. regards Rick.

OK, sounds like everyone knows about this one now. Interesting to read the valuers judgement on the old girl, sounds like the basis for the $3000 was that the vehicle was not actually running while it was inspected. As for the reserve price, I don't think he is dreaming at all, these are quite rare now, maybe 10 that are roadable, or close to. It took me 12 years to get one, and to see one in this condition......Talking Australia of course, by the way I am assuming that this is a true British "Humber" imported by Archie Marshall, and not the Commer badged Aussy Army order. This would explain the British round pattern gaurds on the trailer.
Hope it goes to a good home Rich

Dreamin'
That was more relating to the prices of the 60s and 70s Rootes Group cars.

Ok Keith, must admit they did look a little enthusiastic, I guess it may change on the day though, if they actually want to sell the vehicles.
Mind you, I saw the famous $36 000 Jeep last weekend (Now with 600 miles on the clock), and we have all been to Auctions and sales where prices have gone through the roof. (And very,very rarely, where the prices where rock bottom!!) Rich
