Kevin Purcell’s Toys
Kevin lives down the road from me and I drive through his property to get to work. I stop at his shed when I have a spare minute on my way home to photograph his progress on restorations. At the moment he has a Dodge and a Reo in the shed. The Dodge is the one being worked on at the moment, I've been a bit slow starting this thread and have a years worth of photos to share starting with how it looked on arival.

More on the counting of how many parts make up a Dodge.

The engine is from a car so the carby needed replaceing with a govened one.
The clean up and priming began.

The WC-52 is in the background of the pics of the Command Car (Lot 1), but doesn't seem to be listed. And what has happened to LP Carrier 4963?

stuff
When I was there at Yaven Ck in 1976 Kevin had a very nice early script MB Jeep project and a US made Willys/Bantam Jeep trailer with the round guards that was in excellent condition. I asked Kevin if he would part with these but he wanted to keep them.

I managed to contact the auction company and hopefully I will have an answer Friday.
Three days ago the link worked fine, then yesterday I tried it again and nothing. What we were looking at had lot1 then the rest were lot 999, so I am hoping it is down to de catalogued properly. There were mistakes in the entries also the 6x6s were listed as 6x4s. I'll see what I can find out this end.

I drove past Kevin’s place today and saw a Pickles Auction ute in the yard and a few people gathered around his storage shed.
One can make a relatively safe assumption that moves are afoot.
