Great War truck Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Runflat put me on to this one. Coming up for sale in a French auction (one of only three in France, hmmm, they got that bit wrong then). Heavily messed about with but looks to be mostly there. The compressor on the back is a post war addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 In case folk are tempted, it's up for sale at the Artcurial sale in June. There are also some WW2 American vehicles as well - lot 273 onwards: http://www.artcurial.com/en/asp/searchresults.asp?pg=1&ps=18&st=D&sale_no=2366+++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Like it, what sort of price do you reckon it will get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hard to say for sure. They just dont come up for sale that often. The estimate is 8,000 to 16,000 euros. I think maybe 12,000 is acheivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The compressor and drive pulleys on the back are not recent either. May be into the early 1920's. The whole unit would make an interesting display in itself, and mounted as it is, a greater attraction in my books. So many restorations are finished as an empty truck, with a highly painted or stained deck timbers as if it was never designed to carry a load. To see a vehicle as it would be used in a specialist role is appealing. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 That is a well known one. Interesting to see that it has the truck trailer. These are quite rare, although I know of one in the UK. Asking price on that one is 36,000. Inflation seems to have taken hold in France. http://www.prewarcar.com/index.php?option=com_caradvert&view=ad§ion_id=1&id=81485&Itemid=432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Peskett Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think you will find the vehicle on offer is a Jeffery-Quad rather than a Nash-Quad, the radiator and wheels are a Jeffery as is the Buda TM3 engine fitted. There should be a serial number on a brass plate on the front cross member below the radiator. When I bought my Quad back in 1979 it was very fortunate that this plate was still attached and enabled me to positively identify the vehicle year etc. Nash bought out the Thomas B. Jefferey company in July 1916. Richard Peskett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yes, you are absolutely right Richard, it is a Jeffery. I just quoted what was stated in the auction catalogue without questioning it. You would think the owner would know what he was selling.
