Heads Up: Something for everybody

[Ian Fawbert]

Thanks Shane for letting us know.

Cheap for a very rare trailer! I was not sure when i saw it a few years back if it had its original body or not (having never seen another IHC trailer and only 2 others known in existance according to the trailer database- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...1E&hl=en#gid=0. i`ll need to contact the owners of the other 2 and ask for photo's!), i was not sure given the very flat/minimal/no ribbed sides. I suspect from a few war time photo's ive seen that it might be original but have no proof.

Sure was an interesting trailer (well i think so in my own aussie jeep trailer intriguied mind!) and a good price regardless of the body originality cloud.

Cheers and thanks again,
Ian.

Hi Ian

Mate ill look at the photos i took at the auction and see if there are any photos of the trailer. I didnt give the trailer any concern as i collect bayonets and smaller militaria, however i now have a soft spot for the bofers(still want one and would look great behind the cab 12) Anyway if anyone has one for sale let me know. Also if anyone wants more prices let me know The day after the auction was a farmers tractor day and look what was there

Hi Shane,

No worries mate. If you have any it'd be great, but if not i'll be ok!

I don't suppose you recorded how much the US jeep trailer went for... Probably thousands?

Nice looking Stuart- well worth stopping for a look there!

Cheers,
Ian.
