Thanks for the update. Sound like an opportunity to offer the seller a trailer more suitable for conversion into an expedition trailer in return? Often bartering is more interesting for both parties than buying and selling. Who has a spare trailer and is up for the challenge?!? H.

It is suprising actually.
I mentioned to the seller that if his auction failed to garner bids that maybe he lower his starting price and see where it goes. Realistically, anything worthwhile should generate bids. Usually the market dictates what the right price is. Unfortunately, sometimes things go the other way on eBay and get ridiculous. Good for the seller, not for the bidders. I can understand why Stateside this is of little to no interest as it it uniquely Canadian. If it were a Bantam or Willys trailer I am sure it would have apile of bids. Conversely, it is also just that, a trailer. An accessory if you will. Can't drive it. Missing a few things that may be hard to find, but has many things it should have. I guess time will tell where this goes....

location location location...
He is located between HWY 81 amd 87 at least 5 + hours from Ottawa..... 12 hour day plus fuel....then HST at border and a few burgers.....all adds up to the cost.
I am pretty sure we can fabricate the missing lunette parts as we have the manuals and I believe there may be one to copy from in Oshawa. Time will tell. Bob

Fuel, time and burgers don't count. Its an adventure and adventures cost money. Or you can call it entertainment, leisure pursuit or pastime.
You might even find more treasures along the way or get side tracked into something else. Just think of how proud you would feel saving another piece of our heritage! Not affiliated with the seller BTW.

auction over
So the auction has now closed and there was 1 bid. Is the successful bidder a member of the MLU Forum? Chris ? Bob? and yes, you are welcome to copy from the one in Oshawa.

Hi Brian
I was sure that you had one of these. It wasn't me, although I was awfully tempted. Been spending $$$ like a drunken sailor lately on MV and militaria so it was just to hard to justify. Trying to set aside funding for the new shop! Anyhow, I know who bought it but he shall remain nameless on the Forum unless he decides to identify himself.
