Bob another one sold for $89.95 it seams you have to put "RARE" in the tital to make a sale. I don't know how he can clame there rare as there is nearly always one listed on ebay under various headings. Some are that obscure I only find them by accident. :giveup

I'm on it...
 

Spotted this one but for some reason the larger versions of the pics don't seem to be there. I may bid on them.

Keith, that pic on the middle right looks similar to the scene of some film footage you have with M-H Gun Tractors and Limbers bouncing along the road. Can't work out if this is the photo labelled (Mersa..) Matruh or Tocra Pass? Quite often "Photos" are actually stills from film footage. Is that film tidbit identified for location?

Pic
 

Yes it does look like the same bit of road, but I don't have any ID with the footage, sorry.

What appears to be the remnants of a Ford Aust No8 fgt
Located at Johns river above Tarree
Ebay number 320384319005

Certainly is... or once was.
 

Don't often seen them this stuffed, even if the claim is 'still going strong'.

At least it is another of a rare breed. Anyone up that way keen to take it on?

Sawmill use
 

When considered as a collection of spare parts, if the engine were good and the winch and other running gear are still intact and in good nick then the asking price is not too bad. Trouble is it has had 40 years in a sawmill, one of the most punishing situations for a poor CMP to find itself in, other than a very active war zone.

I'm glad I got mine when I did :thup: I've been watching the second one in Ryan's post #92 ended yesterday at $202.50:ergh: in this recession are books seen as a safe investment :confused

Had a talk to the owner just out of curiousity today
Has not even got the original motor .It is fitted with a falcon motor
he said when he got it ,it had the full body which had a straight roof line with external access lockers ,making it a no8
bobtailed chassis and no rollers
he has no other spares or parts that came off the vehicle and the doors are rusted out
I wish him all the best getting even scrap value for the unfortunate old girl

Oh dear
 

You didn't leap down the phone to throttle him I hope.

No I am a placid bloke :D
He seemed to be quite reasonable and friendly
I told him what he had the remnants of though

$99.99 for a MB-C1, I'd better put mine in the gun cabnet it's worth more than the ammo in there :giveup

Hi AJ I sent him some questios today to see if he will update the listing to reflect it's true condition. :cheers:

Doesn't really matter - those who count already know about it now. :D;)

And anyone with access to Ebay considering buying something like this should already be here don't you think? :cheers: I mean if you were the least bit interested in this sort of vehicle you'd do some sort of google on the subject and wind up here.
