If you have the books, you might need one of these:

Looks like the name "BETTY" might have been applied to that Grant. Wonder if that was while in service?

Add the price of the books together and you are at better than a third of the cost of the tank. I know the books can be used "as-is" and the tank will take a "bit of work" to match the condition of the books but still an interesting balance of prices....

Why can't things like that tank be listed in Canada starting at that price?

Tank was previously listed with a starting price of $69,000(AUST), Buy it now $89,900. Obviously no interest at that level.

And obviously no interest by the seller to sell it at $15,000 either! Withdrawn from sale before auction ended. Must have expected hotter bidding.

Default Grant tank

Hi Tony,
This was advertised on Milweb and I expect that it might have been purchased by someone overseas. On a different aspect - if you leave the item on Ebay until theres less than 24hrs to go on the auction then you are unable to withdraw the item. So the seller may have feared being locked into a sale at or just above the reserve.

Regards,
