That T-16 had sold within a few hours of it being on Milweb.

T16's tend to be worth approximately 25% less than Universals because they are less desirable to collectors.

A good restored 100% complete Universal in the UK at the moment I would currently value at approximately £15,000 to £20,000. Note the complete bit as there are lots of vehicles out there missing most of their internal stowage.

I think you would be luckly to get £15,000 for a mint T16 at the moment. Having said that there are lots of silly people out there.

No buddy, but I bet its Shaun Hindle though, as his grandad was in the same platoon as mine, and he is a carrier nut too !

Oh my, lots of Carriers turning up at Milweb recently; here´s another T16. Or could it be the same as the first one in this thread?

That most recent carrier is a different vehicle from the earlier one that had apparently sold. I've traded some parts and lots of information going both ways with the owner who is in the UK. His T-16 hull serial number was 100 off from mine and this is the specifics I had for both of our vehicles:

Name S/N Lift Hooks Date Registration
Gordon 5399 FS 5488 1-44 TD 97377
Bledsoe 5498 FS 5597 1-44 T 286476

I'm really surprised to see him selling it, although I guess things do come up in peoples lives that can force a change. He had a lot of work into restoration as of a year ago and the armor was complete.

David,

You are right, I remember it now, the first one is the same as the one pictured below. This picture dates back to 2005, at that time it was owned by a man in Lincoln. It was dated 30/10/43 and had been in use as a playground attribute - note the walk-through openings cut in the rear and bulkhead.
