Degsy 12 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 What about the Trade Description Act, this is obviously a massive misrepresentation or doesn't the Act apply to auctioneers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This thread is on the same topic, with a very useful piece of advice:- The thing to do is ask the auctioneer for a "Condition report" They are legally obliged to be accurate and fair! http://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2099944454&frmid=5&msgid=997569&cmd=show Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GoranWC51 10 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 "has been withdrawn" No wonder, apart from all the aforementioned wrong things on this Jeep is the fact that he also sports the all important "TP35" / "TP25" markings above each wheel... WHO the heck started this practice? Ten years ago not a single Jeep, or any other MV for that matter, bore these tire pressure markings. Suddenly almost every single Jeep out there has to have TP35 above the wheels. After searching my quite substantial, it runs in the 1000's, WW2 photo archive, I still have to come up with any photos showing US Jeeps with the TP35/TP25 on them. I have had three (3) grainy images sent to me where markings can be seen, two of them saying "tire pressure 35" and one "TP35". I have a number of British Jeeps with the markings, but then mostly just "22" or "28" and no "TP". At least this Jeep had not "been in the D-Day invasion in the morning of June 6" Goran N Quote Link to post Share on other sites
