There are more than just that vehicle purporting to be something they are not.

There is a CVR(T) Samson which is NOT the vehicle it is marked up to be.

For those who don't know the subtle nuances of what is on display many look good. For those whose area of interest is a particular vehicle there are many faults.

From the scuttlebutt on the MV rumour mill many vehicles have sat for years without attention and are taking a lot to get them running.

Quite understandable for a collection of that size as to how much work there was keeping this going with the few staff that they had. It is always the same problem, people buy more than they can keep running, we are all at times guilty of that. I know I am.

Will it make for good deals and sensible prices? Who knows, I think there will be a fence a mile long with vultures sitting on it waiting with cash to snap up the unpopular vehicles or maybe the scrap man.

Time will tell, but it would be jolly good fun to start a book on what money we think things will make.

Anyone care to suggest what the Centurion will make? My guess is $25,000 plus auction house fees.
