Jeep trailers - are they worth that?

Other than "Ford Blitz Military Wagon - Good Restoration Project" there was no description. I would have bought it for that price, very very good value.

An Australian "Wiles Senior" kitchen trailer. Excellent cooker, ideal for display days or rallies, capable of cooking and roasting and endless stream of food for a multitude. Probably a bit big for a Backyard BBQ.

This is still available , believe this trailer was owned by late VMVC member Bill W. The seller ( Bill's son in law ) has a few other jeep bits for sale including a rusty Willys block, probably spares for Bill's jeep.

Don't know what became of Bill's GAZ 67 , the GAZ was captured in Korea by Australian troops. Bill restored the GAZ . Bill mentioned to me: he approached the Russian consulate in Melbourne and asked if they could supply a manual. A manual duly arrived but the document was on microfilm ! Bill was joking, ASIO would get involved and he was thinking they , ASIO, would open a file on him.

Mike, the GAZ-67B is in the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, WY, USA. I have no idea how it got an Australian Government Movable Cultural Heritage Export Permit.

Bill's trailer is one of the rarer models: a No.3 model built by Charles Hope, plus being an ex-PMG trailer, the top edge under that timber top should be pristine, not bent and distorted.
