Yarragundry clearing sale

[Mike Cecil]

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

All good points, Wayne.

The ARN/hull number, if correct, is definitely one issued to a WA manufactured carrier, but who is to know what has happened to it in the intervening 80-odd years? An older restoration perhaps?

Hi Robert,
Are you bidding at the auction? What you need is a bit of 'garden art' out front of your new home. I think there are some Furphys in the auction. They are all the rage at the moment. Had to help heave one off a trailer in Sydney last month.

Or are you looking for another Blitz? Best of luck on what ever you bid on.


regards, Richard

I hope the bidders have actually inspected the carrier!
