I recieved a broshure in the post a week ago for the auction, but I think it is the wrong way to sell them. Not many people would want a full collection like that let alone have the money that would be on the reserve. It is a nice collection all the same. I am not familiar with the owner but they would have been better off selling things individually.

I'm sure I saw this collection for sale on milweb just a short while back but I can't seem to find the advert.

[Ian Pullen]

I remember it on Milweb too. I recall the asking price was $80k aust.
I wish them well.

CRIKIES $80k... tell them they are dreaming! I recon the only chance they have of getting that sort of money is to sell them as single vehicles.

I too received a brochure in the mail. Why on earth would anyone want a Ferret .. they are a dime a dozen in the UK . Almost impossible to work on , everything is nigh on impossible to get at .

I can recall them being around $1000 each at the Govt. auctions in 1975 ish.
