Hi Howard
I'll probably mosey along, I read it as two jeeps, and two trailers, all being outside entries, rumour has it that one of these items was burnt?. The truck is in with the vendor entries, will do a drive by during the week to have a look, but Blitz's are always advertised as such around here, so possibly one of the bonneted ones? No 4x4 in adv.
Rich.

Have veiwed all items that are in place, many items are still to come and be placed out for the sale.
The 45 Ford is actually a 42 Ford 4x2 civilian truck pressed into military service- no tray, tyres poor con, lots of spider webs, side valve engine with all plugs removed. This truck has the big round long bonnet.
There is a 42 willys and a korean war jeep, they come from the mountains near Bright. They both sustained damage during the fires a couple of years ago. one of the jeeps has the whole rear section burnt out.
The trailers are in average condition.
There is a 42 Chev, military with stakeside tray still fitted with BO marker lights, they are not sure if this will go in the sale. It is not listed.
There is lots and lots of scrap. many lots are just that- scrap.
They are puting trailers/trucks and other wheeled items (all civilian old transport company items that have laid about for years) together to sell, wheels on with no grease in the bearings, etc etc.

If any MLU'ers attend could they please take a few snaps and pass on the auction results. I think there was a listing for some mil spec tyres as well, or were they just commercial truck tyres?
