timbo Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Did anybody see what the Scorpion on Withams auction site finally went for ? I saw it was at £14K odd earlier in the week and meant to log in out of interest last night but I just missed it ? Thanks Timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Come on Shaun - I noticed you were the high bidder last time I looked... Was it you wot got it ? Also was it as good as it looked - any chance of photos ?? Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I looked at this before it went on the auction, it was a bit rough all round. It had thick peeling paint which had been sprayed over, all the road wheel rubbers were sprayed green too, bent bins etc etc. It did have Messier dampers though, and was definitley a better buy than a Belgian one from Marcus.

cladder Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi timbo, yeah it was me who got the Scorpian at Withams. It went for 14 and a bit, plus Gordons bit as well. Have not collected it yet, as they deactivated the gun and just before collection, discovered the grenade launchers were still live. Will post some pictures once its delivered.

Grasshopper Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Wonder if it was a gate gaurd or a taining aid to have survived this long without being sold off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Old topic, I know, but just found it while looking at something else! The Scorpion in question now lives in Dorset, in my garage! Bought from cladder (Shaun) in 2012. I guess Shaun sold up his whole collection. I'd be interested in knowing anything else about it, since it left the MoD. 04FD03.
