Smile Big Day

As predicted the sale was massive, with big money being forked out for stuff that scrapies would have gotten for nothing just a couple of years ago.
No I did not get the F15A, but I introduced myself to the winning bidder, and he is a nice guy who lives within an hour our so from here. He told me that buying the truck was "day one in the realisation of a boyhood dream", which made me feel a bit happier about seeing it go...
He has my email address, I have encouraged him to join up here on MLU, and look forward to following his restoration journey.
The little C15A and C60L semi have gone to a local collector who specialises in what I call "liquid restorations". He is a nice bloke too who along with his son have a collection of about 15 CMP's. Again, within an hour from here too!
I'm glad Tony has reported on the prices as I was to busy socialising to hear most of it. In fact there was one lot I missed because I was talking, not 10 yards from where the lot was knocked down...
