Bloody hell, just a little rusty.

Perhaps... "Paint Free".
Least It does not have a tree or blackberries growing through it.

Also, " a largely complete shell " is a bit of a stretch.

Gosh what do you guys expect! I would say at today prices that hull is a good start for a restoration. Armour that is missing could easily be found or fabricated. As for rust, what would you expect for something that has probably spent 60 years in the open. Certainly not rusted away. more paint is missing. Didn't you take note that a a recent auction a set of S/H tracks sold for $1,000

lallat, I'm refering to the sellers advert on ebay. The description is not all that acurate. That hull is not largely complete and should not be described as such. As for the rust, that is what I would expect for something that had spent a considerable amount of time in the open. I am simply stating a personal observation.

Depending on the address in Rockhampton, it could have also come from the tropics!

For the record, sold for $2125.

Looks like all the parts that have been removed are being sold by the same seller individually.

Almost looks like he has enough bits for more than one. Wonder if another hull will come up in the furture?
