She is a ripper Ron and thanks for the extra info. I bet you regret selling her now.
It will be interesting to see what she will fetch now. Still having the original low miles engine is a huge bonus.

AUSTRALIAN LP2A BREN GUN CARRIER
Starting bid: AU $15,000.00
Seller info: Member id 41cmp

Up for auction now is my LP2A Bren Gun Carrier. This Bren drives and turns like a dream. Mechanically it is A1, just needs a clean up and paint. If it doesnt sell as is, it will be sandblasted and painted and re-offered for sale and a higher price. There is not alot to do to this carrier to finish it. At some point most of the small brackets and fittings were cut off, but nothing major was removed. An inspection is recommended for this carrier as there is a ute load of extra parts for it which may go with it, depending on the final price. If it reaches the reserve price there will be a full set of storage boxes, (another spare set also avaiable for sale) Shepards hook, Crow Bar, Pick, Axe, Shovel, original stove in storage box, Jack and mounting bracket, Track adjusting winch, Lights, Dash, Bren Gun quadrant, Bren ammo boxes, Vickers ammo boxes, Lewis ammo boxes, POW tins, Vickers Tool box, Machine Gun Cleaning rods, three of the four lower engine cover plates(super rare!) Air cleaners and air tubes, Spare gear box with Muff coupling and horse shoe. There will be more but thats all I can think of and thats why this vehicle must be inspected or at least a very serious phone call. As I said earlier, this vehicle will be an easy rebuild and it currently runs extremely well. It has been a front row performer at the last three Emu Gully Air and Land Spectaculars in Queensland. I can be contacted on 0418 779 848 for more info or an inspection. Serious buyers only please. www.southerncrossmilitaria.com
It appears that the rear panel has been cut and moved back to enlarge the rear compartment. Sounds like there is a lot of other items to go with it depending on the price. not too bad a project, and no I am not conected to the seller.

Hi Anthony,
Yes I agree with you regarding the motor, another big plus is and an important one cost wise is the condition of the track with such low milage it should be almost as new,and the rubber on the wheels should be good also,when I owned it it lived in a shed high and dry, it went like a cut cat when I opened it up on the farm, and on a wet day I could spin it like a top on the wet grass,No there are no regrets about selling it,I had other projects to get on with, Diamond T 980,rogers trailer and Matilda tanks to play with, Yes that Dingo is nice I have seen it, and its great condition, Regards Ron
