Have you read the thread on the rebuilds? Martyn is a member here too.

Yup I feel like a royal spanner!

Not least that I was wondering the resale of restored examples (after seeing T16s and co for £10-14k on Milweb) of Carriers/newbuilds.

Its not meant to be a criticism just surprise really at the price they go for.

There is always a difference between the price being asked and the price they actually sell for.

But with more and more resources needed to bring surviving examples up to scratch, or totally remanufacturing wrecks as in this case, prices are bound to rise to the level the market can bear.

Who has the last Carrier-in-a-crate, needing little more than a repaint and a tune-up?!?
