Not strictly Blitz, but may be of interest
 

A tank periscope
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Tank-Periscop...1%7C240%3A1318

That's a standard Sherman tank scope (with reticle) - I have one as well, which anyone can have (albeit not for AUD $0.99 :D ). I don't know what other armour it may fit (if any), so someone more knowledgeable in that area will have to chime in...

CMP parts on Ebay
 

Hi - Looking around E-pay this afternoon have my normal searches for CMP Canadian Military Pattern etc. nothing much then under CCKW I found this listing for a seller name us6x6 seems he has some CMP parts and will ship to the US so I assume he will ship elsewhere. Is this a seller we have seen before or somebody new?


http://cgi.ebay.com/FORD-CMP-BLITZ-S...A1%7C294%3A200

Hi Phil, us6x6 is Ross Prince of Queensland, he has a fair range of CMP parts.
I have purchased from him three times so far ad he includes a business cad with each purchase so he is not hiding his identity. Email rwprince(at)bigpond.com :cheers:

He recently sold a Driver's Handbook for the F15 4x2 for $112.50 that looked to be in good shape, too rich for me to buy as a duplicate. With the recent eBay policy to hide the winner's ID, I don't know if the buyer was MLU.

Yes the e-pay changes are a pain
 

Thanks Grant and Robert-

What was surprising me was I've been doing a search on CMP Canadian Military Pattern and had not noticed the handle us6x6 before. The changes to e-pay are causing problems with old searchs which I had stored under my e-pay account.

Cheers Phil

Hey Keith, have you still got copies of this book available?

Copies
 

Yes I have NOS copies (slightly watermarked) for $50.

Anyone wanting one please feel free to send me a PM.

ford blitz
 

Is this the remains of a gun tractor?

In NSW.

Starting bid $500, a better deal than two doors for $400 :giveup

Gun tractor
 

Certainly is - a No9 Ford. Is anyone close enough to either buy it or do a good survey?

Certainly am Keith
I talked to the owner this afternoon after i saw it on ebay
Pretty sad condition but i will be having a go at trying to get this one
only about 180kms off me :salute:

Gee you guiys are lucky down under so many Blitz's so little time , I want it just for the front bumper pushbar and dashboard :D

I hope someone gets it , as well as all the others in that other auction !, maybe we should get a MLU S.O.S fund going :coffee

LOL

Fgt
 

Good on you! I can see from the small pics it looks quite rusty, but at least I have patterns for the rest of it, should you need. Just want to know the all important chassis and ARN numbers. :thup2:

So who bought the Ford Blitz gun tractor?
Auction ended early.
Sold for $1600 according to the advert.
An MLUer?

:devil: :devil: :devil: :D :D :D
definately an MLUer
not for $1600 thankfully
FGT about to reside 180kms south of its current location :thup2:

Well done Andrew. You've got yourself a fine rare vehicle.

Thanks :cheers:
hopefully clap eyes on it within a week :thup2:
Just have to sneek it in past the cranky wife sentinel :fry: :fry: :fry:

Congratulations
 

Take it from one who knows, a FGT No9 is very difficult to bring past a cranky sentinel.

Can't wait to see the detailed survey pictures and revelation of it's identity! :thup2: :thup2: :thup2:

C8 on EBAY .. years ago
 

hey Andrew

You missed this little cutey on EBAY , a C8 ( or is it one of yours ) . It was in NSW , about 5 years ago . The sellers didn't have any idea what it was .. it was rather expensive from memory , normal for EPAY . Notice the civilian car wheels on it...and the home made tray .

Mike

I Think it ended up selling for about $3k from memory
Up Kempsey way
Had non original motor and no restoration done on drivetrain or mechanicals and no spacer plates
I think I now have over my quota of vehicles and may even consider rationalising some of the ones i have :doh:
