I think this is the trailer Colin is pointing us to:

These trailers have gone up in value quite a lot recently.

Mike

Value?
 

The item sold for $510.

That is a significant amount of money for what remains a 1945 Ford trailer, no taillights, missing handbrake assy, floor requires replacing (with beaded original), plus 2 bar tread tyres (not including spare).. 2 litres of paint, a sandblast, etch prime, prime, topcoat, straightening, hood bows, canvas, stop light, mil electric connector, towing ring hitch, registration (in NSW) stamp duty...

Mike, I appreciate your photos on Jeepdraw,(http://www.jeepdraw.com) as the enabled me to decide that I could spend my hard earned $510!!! on another CMP.... Proportionately I think the price is too high, and a realistic price would be more like $300. bearing in mind I bought a registered 2 tonne trailer for $40 more than this price!! and I can tow a jeep on it.

Obviously someone is prepared to pay that much :eek:, but then again, Money is easy to spend and harder to earn... ;)

I would upload the photos as they are worthy of posting, but I am on my ancient computer and its a no go.. One wonders if it would fetch such a sterling price.

Anyone manage to buy it???

Ian, As it is an Australian Type 4 trailer, they did not have lights or a hand brake or safety chains and they came new with those cross ply tyres.
It has the leg and looks like an original floor bung hanging from its chain.
Original solid rims(spare looks CJ), Brass tag not missing.
It is just missing the tow eye.
Looks fairly straight in the photo's.
I don't think it is too over priced.
How many in this condition are for sale today?
Just my 2 cents.

Enlightenend
 

Thanks Jeff,

I didn't know that..

I am just going from the Jeepdraw website..and Mike Kelly's info..

I am glad someone knows what is required. I had to add a freight factor (for me is a few hundred), and I still think it is overpriced. (trouble is I have two trailers already... that's a lot of money sitting in the rain, year in year out..)

I expect that there are a few dozen jeep trailers around.. certainly there are a few limbers... If the MLU thread readers want to PM me about a limber, I am keen to know.

Somebody mentioned recently that repro U.S. Willys/Bantam trailers or parts thereof ( panels ) are being made in the Phillipines now . Is that true ? After reading of the horror stories on G503... :nono: re: the dodgy fitting repro Jeep tubs .
Mike

And you thought $510 was too much
 

Hmm well that is an asking price...not a selling price.... A bit like some other popular classics which have 'reached' unbelievable prices....most is a fictitious price asked by the seller and not achieved in sales. And yes: I think for a 6x4 trailer it is a lot.. Regardless of the year. Mind you, 3x combat rims=$300.

Another
 

It's in Victoria with a $400 starting price. Quite battered though. No connection.

Its funny, people put these really high starting prices because they think that anyone who is into ex military machines and equipment will pay rediculous for them. Someone bought a good carrier on ebay for $15,000
Thats not bad considering its condition.

Trailer on NZ trade me
 

Has this been on before?
$100 buy it now is pretty damn cheap.
But what does it belong to?

Ryan,
Looks like what we call over here - a Humber Trailer.
That one is probabley a Sankey. Most here were built by Corio Air Engineer in Belmont Geelong around 1959.

I am surprised to see a 1954 Dutch-made Polynorm trailer for sale on the other side of the world. Military vehicles are truly traded globally.
