WHY?
Very minor rust in the hatch
Very minor rust in the cab
Original early dash
Chevron tyres but perished.

It had run about 7 years earlier.

Pictures will follow in due course.

Ian's new F15A (congrats, Ian!)

What did the 25pdr sell for?

Tony Smith · #36 13-11-06, 07:28

There were no artillery pieces in the auction. There were 6 25pdr projectiles however, fairly rusty with no markings visible $140ea.

ChrisG · #37 13-11-06, 07:47

I saw some 25pdr cleaning rods that were broken up and sold as individual pieces.....

Arron Walker · #38 14-11-06, 09:27

Did anyone get any close up photos of the LVTs?

Tony Smith · #39 14-11-06, 10:54

LVT4 (with Series 1 Land Rover) with no track on RHS, passed in at $4000.

LVT with dummy gun in turret, only has 1/2 length of track on RHS (retained by fencing wire!), passed in.

LVT turret. (Did this sell?)

sth65pac · #40 14-11-06, 12:03

I agree with all that Tony says....

It was a very long hot day.. Some things were super cheap and some things were mad!

Thanks Hanno, I will photo the truck on Sunday when I pick it up.. It is wrapped in a 'bunny rug' tarpaulin until I can get it properly out of the weather..

I have a few things to do. (well maybe lots) but the truck is good for originality.

Can anyone give me some tips on uploading pics??

I think I have attached the F60!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ian

Have a read of the instructions which should explain it for you.

Looking forward to seeing lots of pics.

Arron Walker · #42 15-11-06, 03:02

Tony,

Thanks for the photos of the LVTs. Looks like they are missing quite a few bits.

Keith Webb · #44 01-12-07, 22:29

I have a bit of a problem with something like this:

When it is advertised like this:

Quote:

Rare Ford 41 F60 Blitz, ex Australian army Western Desert WW11,orig troop body and fittings. £2300 pounds.

When it is not particularly rare, nor 41, nor ex Western Desert. It also looks to be a 15cwt with a non-original rear body.

Well, yes... Did they sell the F60L with the timber stores body? Perhaps that's the one in which case the misrepresentation only applies to Western Desert, 41 and rare. It also had the doors tek screwed shut.

aj.lec · #47 01-12-07, 23:05

And to boot the neptune bomber and tank turretts are still sitting there

prices he is asking ill say they will be sitting there for a while still

Ryan · #48 01-12-07, 23:19

These are on Milweb too in the vehicle park/ heavy. Offers over $90,000Aus is the asking price.

sth65pac · #49 10-12-07, 12:14

No Keith it was not sold on the day... passed in at about $2000.00. It was in some way better and some ways worser than the F15A I bought. ps it doesnt look like its photo a year ago....

I have attached the F60L photo I took that day...

Ian

sth65pac · #50 10-12-07, 12:20

Shame this one was not offered for sale.

Ian

Shakey985 · #51 27-02-09, 23:20

They are still there, now for sale or trade, 3 years after the auction. So have his prices come down?. Has any one had a Gecco at the Dimond T? ie how compleat in the running gear.

Shakey, one of the Pucka boys, see you at Corowa

aj.lec · #52 27-02-09, 23:35

The c60s with the fowler crane is sitting out the front too in the sale section
I will drop in one day and have a look at the t
His prices are usually over the top though and dosent move on them much

aj.lec · #53 14-06-09, 09:59

Finally got out to have a look at the diamond t ,not the best thing I have ever seen
chassis plated repair on one side ,no axles and rust in most of the lower cab but other than that mechanically reasonably complete

aj.lec · #54 14-06-09, 10:02

A few more

aj.lec · #55 14-06-09, 10:05

more
You would have to ring up for price

Ryan · #56 14-06-09, 10:22

Great pics andrew.
Is the Diamond T the only vehicle left there for sale?

aj.lec · #57 14-06-09, 10:32

He has the rough chev with the fowler crane slapped on the back
there is a couple of ford trucks and another 60l around the other side but i dont know if they are for sale

BSHEVLIN · #58 15-06-09, 02:24

the 2 pounder carrier i used to own before i sold it in 2007.
i sold it to Robert parker in seymour to fund my m3a1 scout car.

ps early next year i will be in the hunt for Armour if any body is thinking about selling anything in Australia pm me
prefer something fairly straight or rolling or fully restored

Ryan · #59 15-04-12, 00:28

It seems the Studebaker didn't sell after all. To quote scott:

I wonder what else is still there? Did the LP2 carrier sell all those years ago?

Crane not so good. It is the one with the fowler crane on the back .That picture must have been taken while still inside .It has been outside holding the wing on the Neptune down since auction
Diamond still there
Salladin was sold about a month ago along with a dingo
Neptune still there
1941 Ford still there
Turrett still sitting out front .Dont know what it is off but suspect a centurion
Carrier sold before auction
Other than that pretty much all gone
