Auction at Tregantle

Did anyone record how much the Military Vehicles made at the sale of Bob Whites collection today?

 

Apparently the Carrier sold for 70,000 and the 7 1/2 ton recovery trailer went for 9,000. Got this from a post on MLU

 

Sounds like at least two people were keen to get the Carrier, which I understand was one of the crated ones, so little wear in I imagine.

You cannot set general values on vehicles from "auction hysteria". Two or more people keen to buy an item will often run bids up well over the normal values.

 

 

Very true Richard, but owners will think differently for a while till they discover they don't sell it.

£14,560 with buyers premium + vat

Ouch! .... :red: Good if you already own a Scammell I guess - nice to think it's going up in value. Not so good if you're hoping to get a bargain!

I expected it to make slightly more than that, it was almost fully kitted out, nicely restored, had good tyres and a diesel conversion, all it needed was a pair of bonnet sides.

 

What did surprise me was the £9.8k+commission for the WW2 era 7.5ton recovery trailer, I have seen several of these weighed in over the years for next to nothing.
