Default Surplus prices

Very interesting find Mike, as you know I worked for Hughes Auto Spares in the mid 1970s, they were a division of Hancock Motors by then, located at Hunter Road Camberwell, now I think a carpark for a school. The place was packed with WW2 NOS surplus vehicle parts, all at one time carefully inventoried by Jack White who worked with Jack O'Donnell, the manager. By that time the other warehouse in Nunawading belonged to Auto Surplus I think, but there was still a presence out at Coburg next to Hughes Trading.
In your other post about the government buying back GMC spares, I think it was not unusual for disposals to realise too late they'd sold stuff they still needed and had to buy it back at inflated prices.
Those were the days eh!
