I have no connection to the seller

Fingers crossed he sells it, may set a new bar for the price of carriers :cheers:

NOT when im trying to buy one mate...!!!!
Just had a deal go sour on me because the seller saw this price on Milweb and now hes asking restored UK prices (£30,000) for a resto saying I could sell it for £75,000!!!! :bang:
And its abroad so would have shipping on that too!
Why do people think its worth so much?? :nono:
He needs his arse kicking back to reality! :no4:
Dont get me wrong, its a nice carrier, but only a £40,000 one!

:-) sorry Paul i saw it so thought i would share... its only worth what folk are willing to pay, i agree the current bar for restored is 30 - 40 K 70 - 80k is what i would pay for say a Stuart or something similar... value trends etc etc.

Funny how a seller can see someones elses advert and then assume their asking price is reality...
The only reality is what something actually sells for.

I know Chris, but someone will pay that who has more money than sense and that will kick the arse out of the market for us buyers! :bang:
Old sayiing that its only worth as much as someone will pay! :salute:
Now if i had wone the £160,000,000 lottery last week here I WOULD BLOODY BUY IT AT £75,000!!!!!!! :cheers:

A T-16 is advertised on HMVF forum with offers around £25,000, is that low enough?

nothing to do with me only just spotted it.

T16 on milweb for 15k just been restored too ;)

Ive seen it and followed the resto from day one, but was looking for my own resto mate, so you can all follow mine...!!! LOL :thup2:

You mean Ricks? Sold before the ink on the advert was dry mate!!! :bang:
I didnt see it til next morning otherwise would have smashed the piggy bank and peddalled all the way there n pushed it home!!!;)

And another one: http://www.milweb.net/webverts/68261/

Seems they are a dime a dozen these days :D

H.

Agree Hanno, Carriers coming out of the woodwork at the moment....doesn't that mean that the price should fall? Doubt it.

There's nothing like a rise in 'value' to generate a similar rise in desire to own!

How shallow, how true :rolleyes

Back up for sale again folks:

Price dropped to £64.995..

For comparison: this carrier, not as complete (as it is missing part of it's front armour), made UKP 28,000 at a recent auction in the UK:

£28k plus Vat and commission............. Makes it a mid £30k carrier that needs some front armour work.

Here's a front picture of it.

"the frontal armour was missing because the man who owned found it hard getting in & out of it!! Mad isn't it".

Kevin.

Happy to re rivet the armour for any prospective buyer :-)

I think that would have been owned by a chap called Dusty Miller as I recall him doing Carrier rides at some of the MVCG shows back in late Seventies onward. The sign on the side reminds me.
