LP1 LP2 question

[Tony Smith]

It's hard to say because there's so few of them and they change hands infrequently. Lp1's are very hard to value as there probably less than 10 survivors . It all depends on the condition, how urgently you want one and how desperate the owner is to sell. I had the opportunity to buy LP1 No5 , but these opportunities don't come again very quickly.
LP2A carriers are more readily available (than LP1s), but again the price depends on condition and the urge. I have seen a complete rolling hull (inc track, no motor or trans) for $200, and a restored one at auction fetch $16,000. The right price lies somewhere in between. The right place to look is where other collectors don't look (Zen wisdom of MV collecting). The 6 carriers in this pic were for sale for $1200 as a job lot, take 'em all. That's a lot of scrap armour for just two good hulls and lots of running gear. I turned the offer down.
