Default Who bought this Jeep?

Sold at a clearing sale just outside Temora on the weekend is this Jeep with 180 miles on the speedo - looks like a wonderful barn find - bought by someone from Canberra.

Was it anyone here? I won't reveal the price for the time being just in case.

Default More pics

Kenny Love of the Temora Aviation Museum took these pics for us.

Here's one of the slightly rusty data plate:



I've made a page of pictures including a Jeep trailer which made $130.

Default not me

Keith it wasn't me, my financial advisor tells me that I have over spent my allowance for the next five years. I reckon the old girl is a bit hard on me.

Couldn't have been much; last time I heard, Jeeps were going for $50 a tonne in Australia....

Default Prices

Hi Keefy
It the trailer price is any indication of the Jeep price, somebody bought these at a steal. $130 for a trailer with plate, unbelievable. I would have travelled over there for that if I had known.

Default Yeah but no but...

From Tony:
"I got this trailer with it's plate still attached from the local tip for free:"


But the other plate has a higher number.
