@ Rob. Yes, sorry that's Holland on the other end of the pond....the Netherlands!
Robin, Rob, thanks for your kind replies and offer to help; greatly appreciated! I have also received another reply offline and as expected the consensus is that costs to get just a vehicle body transported overseas could quickly overtake the value of the body itself, even with your kind help in transport and storage. The fact that it's in an auction is not helping as the time crunch makes it hard to get an idea of shipping costs before the end of the auction (and maybe I was also a bit late in actually looking into the auction!), so I may never know if the body would make it onto my C8 here in Holland for a reasonable price, or if it would end up costing 3 times as much, making for an expensive exercise. Well, that's ignoring the fact that I would have to win the lot first, and that proves a challenge anyway, as the auctioneers haven't approved my account yet, nor did I get a reply on my questions regarding shipping options to them yet. On the other hand.....I can't blame them....some guy on the other end of the world is asking difficult questions about a rusty truck body that to them might be nothing more than scrap! Guys, I am, once again, pleasantly surprised about the willigness of MLU-ers to help eachother with the hobby.....truly unique! I think this truck body, for me, will remain a day-dream and I will have to settle with restoring the remains of the body on my C8 and making the missing bits. George in the other thread offered to take pictures of the body in the auction which will already be a great help for my project, an ex-Elliot Brothers C8. I wish everyone going to the auction a great time and the best of luck in bidding......and I am always interested in pictures of the C8 and F8 trucks/bodies in the auction.
