What did the carrier track go for and what condition was it in?

Sure looking forward to the "completed auction" results.

I had sent BCA an email the other day and he mentioned he was down there. Lucky dog.

One thing of interest is there has been mentioned a couple of times during the auction of an Australian buyer. I have noted that they are spending some big money on some items. So will be interesting to see who the buyer is and what they have bought and if we will get to see the vehicles.

The Australian buyer is Rob from the new Artillery Museum in Cairns, He is there with another adviser from Aust. but they are both buying for the museum.

Very surprised the Churchill Flail did not get many bids, it would have sold for a fraction of what it cost to restore. Hammer price of £41,000 plus all the added extras.

Hi Scott,

Is this one right?
Ford GPW - 68,000

Id hope to pay alot less than that for a GPW, especially if i could have bought some of the other things for a tad more or less! Someone got excited i think and kept waving their arm!

Yes, the end user in reference to OZ is Rob and his new museum. The buyer in attendance is Rod Bellars from Victoria.

A lot less? Yes there were a few bargains to be had, but overall it seems the prices were quite healthy.

Please note list prices at regular sales are very often not attained when actually sold. At least in Europe, that is. This comes from professional dealers and actual buyers of vehicles.

And with so many items auctioned off at the same time pockets of buyers are only so deep. And then there are the premiums, taxes and transportation to add.
