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!

Ian.

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

The 6-pdr went for $50K. The 17-pdr was $55K.

I missed the Humber, anyone see what it sold for?

It was good fun watching the Auction I was up at 5 am till the end . Would have been great to be there , Some great machines at a fear price. If I had heaps of spare money I would have brought the M3A1 1942 Sherman ..Rob and his new museum where will it be ... GPW went for $37.500 . I'm sure it had a post war engine in it . Dale

Another M26 arrived in Australia very recently. I saw one coming over the Westgate Bridge in Melbourne about four weeks ago. It was just tractor unit on the back of a semi and was in restored condition, new tyres and a yellow star on the door. I've heard it has gone to a paint ball field near Melborne. It was the only one in Australia that I was aware of.

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.
