How come we don't get auctions like that here in Canada? Then again, I would be broke for a year if we did.

Either they are selling it off cheap or you make a lot more than I do if you would only be broke for a year.....

Third option is I have self control. The OCD does not control me, I control it and use it to further my pursuits of happiness.

a lot of the stuff including the aircraft came from the defunct Musuem of Army Transport at Beverley which is just down the road.

Heads-up on a South African Reconnaissance Car Mk IV for sale. Interestingly, this is the rarer Mk IV version built with Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive components, rather than the later Mk IVF which used F60L CMP driveline components.

Hammer Price for this vehicle was 7,000 GBP, not a bad deal I think.

"Marmon Herrington MKIV Armoured Car, this vehicle is a restoration project, it has an engine and running gear, This lot does appear to be deactivated but has no certificate"
