Default Lost treasure

Hi
The tank is the fuel cell for the flame thrower, very rare, I did ask the agent but they did not have photos or seem that interested in my questions about its condition, they did tell me that they had calls from all over Australia and some one from South Australia was coming to the auction. I have a feeling that Ron Fry still owned that vehicle, I understand it was stored on that property after Ron acquired it from Upton's but never got it home....Bare Hulls like that weigh 19 tonnes so scrap guys get very excited, It was cheep, but add a crane to load it and 3 grand to bring it to my place and its not that glamorous.

Kind regards
Matt
