Rick W Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I hope they realise a more realistic price than he was asking for them. Interesting to know if there are reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 They have some nice stuff and a wander round the mills uncovers all sorts of spares. The big wheel Ferret is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 When I visited the collection a couple of years ago the vehicles were packed in cheek by jowl and hard to look at. I dont think that they were run up very often and stayed inside all the time. Some have been "smartened" up since being acquired, some were as released. When I asked how much an "as is" CVR(W) Fox would be it was GBP 9,000 and when asked how much fully sorted and painted it was the same. I would say the Saxon is one of the rarer vehicles from the UK MOD side of the collection, it looked quite tidy. It will be very interesting to see what money they all make.

R At one point they were cheek by jowl but one of the vehicles or more started to drop through the floor and they were subsequently moved to (Bolton not been) and (Rawtenstall Isle of Man Mill). If you don't know all ready the B & E Boys r property developers and you will signs all over Bury and Rawtenstall for various mills and industrial parks. I suspect that the turn over of vehicles just isn't enough, if they were towards the South of the UK I suspect that they would have been picked clean of useful parts and would consequently sell more vehicles.

snowtracdave Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Kept them in a barn ?? Spot of poetic licence there . Brian and family seem to own most of Rawtenstall judging from the number of signs with their name on around the town and when we went up to buy the ST we saw only part of the collection stored in some of the redundant mills he owns there .

Stormin Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I see there's another sale later in the year for a disposal of Peter Boys' military surplus collection, spares and what not as opposed to the vehicles in this June sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Yes there have been photos of it in the magazines before, it's an Abbot without a gun. Is that the one fitted with a fake gun to make it look more like an Abbot? :nut: Any ideas on "Mowag Wheeled Tank Training Vehicle"?

Richard Farrant Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Any ideas on "Mowag Wheeled Tank Training Vehicle"? There were several around this country about 15-20 years ago, made by Mowag for the Swiss Army, notable by the large windsceen, think a lot of the mechanicals were Dodge based.

mcspool Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 think a lot of the mechanicals were Dodge based. Correct, Dodge Power Wagon to be precise. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
