earlymb Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 And please note the Command Car is a reproduction.....https://www.troostwijkauctions.com/uk/repro-command-reconnaissance-truck-4x4/03-20818-23046-3497269/ The one that went for 43K was a real one. The repro one went for 17k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I can't see the final sale prices on the links given. How do I get them to appear? - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cordenj Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Apparently the C60L sold yesterday for 2.5 times the price it had been on the open market for ages....and not previously sold. All seems very strange. Perhaps Nigel Hay will elucidate in next months CMV magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The one that went for 43K was a real one. The repro one went for 17k. So the repro is a weapon's carrier with newly made body on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the repro is a weapon's carrier with newly made body on it? I don't know. I didn't pay much attention to it at the viewing but it would have fooled me. I wonder what makes it a repro too...

Gordon_M Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 To me the deal was the big Coleman Aircraft Tug - that would have been worth a speculative bid - ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gas 44 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm not sure whether the WLF's were good prices or not, although a lot of vehicle for about £ 17k . What do the WLF owners on here think ? What I found astounding was the halftrack.......I'm sure there must have been something special that only a few knew about it....maybe thats the one Patton pi**ed into the Rhine from in 1945. We saw it and to the untrained eye it looked like a lot of other halftracks I have seen....looked after but 106000 euro i just dont see that.

79x100 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Something very similar occurred when the same auctioneer (who specialises in bankrupty sales and foreclosures, not collector's items) dealt with the disposal of the business assets of the deceased former Belgian Norton motorcycle importer. Whilst he was alive, he was a man known for avoiding a paper trail. I know what I think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm not sure whether the WLF's were good prices or not, although a lot of vehicle for about £ 17k .What do the WLF owners on here think ? The market rate for an average restored WLF with a petrol engine in the UK is around £12k - £14. Maybe a bit more for a really nice one. Lots 8 & 9 both went for £18,724 and £15,789 respectively incl. the 40% and both need money spent to properly restore them. I am basing my comments on what is shown in the photos. Lot 8: M1A1. wrong front bumper, extra lights and reflectors added, wrong mirrors, missing pioneer tools, bars added under rear body, missing speedo. Est. £850 in parts to rectify. Lot 9: M1A1. running on external fuel tank (tanks are prone to rotting out), wrong tyres, missing Sirenlite, wrong air gauge, wrong speedo. Est. £2900 in parts to rectify. Lot 16 is an M1. I'd be interested to know what this fetched. Wrong cab fitted (this would have to be fabricated from scratch), running on external fuel tank, modified air system, wrong tyres, extra brackets and cable reelers added, missing spare wheel. Est. £7850 to rectify. There is no shortage of these trucks on the market so why pay over market rate? Hopefully there were elements not visible in the photos which made them more appealing. - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWade Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 From what I saw when I went over, the wards did not really stand out to me, in fact I thought most of the lots were average, I think people got carried away with the bidding, who knows.

Maurice Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I heard from several people who bid on lots , also spares , that they got a message that even after they had the winning bid , it was cancelled. ?? Can they do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gas 44 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) As I understood there was No reserve on any lots just a starting price. We were also told that all vehicles that were on the video running/driving, were all using external fuel tank (although not possible to see on all vids) this was due to insurance.No fuel SHOULD have been in main tanks.All batteries were also removed. I may/could be easily lead but thats seems sensible. Hell of a job bump starting the Sherman...... Edited January 22, 2016 by gas 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
