This is interesting - there's in no reserve!

O.k., for 10 grand I won't bid against you

Default Currently $1.00

Golly, it might even go for twice that price!

Also interesting to read the rest of the entry, especially reserving the right to end the auction at any time:

Quote:
An offer here is a very rare 90% complete and original

Bren Gun Carrier

which is partly restored and requires fitting out and finishing.

These are getting very hard to find now a days with most in private collections.

The tracks are in good condition as is the armoured plating. There are some spare parts etc. When completed, this will sell for $40K plus. Can be inspected in Port Melbourne.

As time permits, I will also be listing some of my other vehicles which include a 1955 Russian tracked Topaz armoured personnel carrier. A real barn find 1952 Morris Champ Jeep in original untouched combat condition. Another barn find, totally original 1944 GMC 6 wheel troop carrier in untouched original condition. Another barn find untouched and original 1972 Landrover (Field Engeineers) believed to be a Vietnam Vet. A 1974 Acco 6 wheel 4 x 6 truck. Another un-restored Bren Gun Carrier needing extensive restoration.



***I reserve the right to end this auction at any time

as this item is listed elsewhere***
In my database I have carrier 563 as being listed for sale in 2006 in Qld in 'very poor condition'.

I just spoke to the previous owner and he sold it about a year ago on eBay and got $17000 for it! I imagine he's probably looking for that sort of money at least.

Not half as disappointing as the $7,900 the seller didn't get if the previous sale price was correct!
