Yarragundry clearing sale

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

We dropped in there a few years back, interesting and enjoyable it was too. Had a spin in the Cent, so it was running then.

This collection has expanded since I last visited probably 5 years ago.
I first visited probably 10 years ago when he first started to collect MV's.
So, yes, he's only been collecting for a short time really.
There's some CMP's that aren't included in these photos, so I'm guessing that they are keeping some stuff.
The Batemans often visited Corowa and spent up at the swap meet, but had no interest in bringing a vehicle.
Should be a good weekend.

Apparently still running now. Some Vids have been uploaded to the Auctioneer's page.

The paint looks authentic enough, but I think the ARN of the Cent is supposed to be 169-055?

[Mike Cecil]

Yes, Tony: 169055 (no hyphen).

If the ARN is correct (5124) it is a WA produced carrier (State Engineering Works), which was sold out of service in the 1950s from 3 Base Ordnance Depot, Seymour. At the time of that sale, the engine number was 3G33780F.

Appears to be nice and complete. That should get the West Aussie contingent motivated!

Hi Mike, looks like a late production hull of Vic or WA origin, but missing a lot that makes it a WA carrier.
Needs all steel idler and front road wheels, rear upper tool rack and correct air scoop. A look at the floor of the radiator opening will seal the deal.

Should make 35 - 40k as is, allowing for auction day loons.

Cheers, Wayne
