Nick Johns Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I've mentioned this before, in 1968 three of us bought 6 Dingo's from Ruddington sales, average price was £37 each, all were in running condition, I think it was probably at the actual July 1968 sale of the catalogue in the first pic!! we collected them from Ludgershall depot where they were stored The other catalogue for the 1949 sale may have been the sale my late Uncle bought a Morris armoured car !
