Now the dust has settled I was wondering if anyone got any goodies at the last Withams Sale.

 

 

Sad I know, but living this far north, this is the closest I can get to having any involvement :(

I managed to "win" lots 527 and 557, picking up on Monday. Just got to find somewhere to store umpteen assorted sized boxes of bits! I know there are quite a few light lenses and switches, and probably a lot of other interesting bits too. Will post pics whenever I get the chance to sort through it all.

...I didn't get the Land Rover tyres I bid on despite the bid being higher than the winning price of 3 of the 4 lots of similar tyres in the last tender! Hey ho.... :embarrassed:

I won some of the Alvis spares - I think it mainly bits and peices submitted by a dealer who was having a clearout - there were some little morsels in there , the rest I will offer out via ebay. I may group certain parts together and sell as a small lot ( selling individually would be a long job).

 

I think there are a few abbots parts in there , plus plenty of scrap.

I phoned and e-mailed their Sales dept regarding Chieftain gearboxes 're-con or take outs' was the question, they did not give me the courtesy of a reply..........

Well, picked it up this morning, filled pick up truck and back seat cramming it all in, and on getting home spent around 4 hours seeing what I'd actually got. Counting boxes, writing down NSN numbers, and trying to store them. Got most of it sorted, though still got a pick up bed full to finish off later in week. Lots of interesting bits, probably a lot of junk too! There are some bits that I haven't a clue what they are.

Still more, but I'll leave those for another day. If anyone recognises any of this or what they came from, or fitment, it'd be nice to know.
