B series Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I have a catalogue for the 70th auction at Ruddington. 16 BH 45 was Lot 350 on the 8th Oct 1963. As it sold on the 8th and was registered on the 15th someone was very quick with the vehicle transport, repairs and documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil5828KM Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 HI Would it be possible to photograph the page and send to me via WhatsApp or email? Or post image in this thread and I can save it? Many thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I may be able to tell you the price as quite a lot of my catalogues are from a dealer who often wrote in the hammer price. I also have some double sized catalogues used by the auctioneers to record the price, but I can't access my archives at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil5828KM Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks for the price info Could you scan the details from the catalogue and attach to here for me to print out. Many thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Here you go. I believe the annotations are the hammer prices rather than the buyer's bids. Note 313 Champ sold for £15 marked "No" so it must have been a bit rough & obviously not on this buyer's shopping list. A couple of years ago I spoke to Mr Hanson of W,W & H and asked him how did they calculate the reserve price? He said it was based on previous sales of similar vehicles. Dealers obviously knew this and found it helpful to record prices from previous sales to tailor their bids accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil5828KM Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks Clive, that's very kind of you to send this and so promptly. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kem76 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thank you for replying, would you have a copy of the details in the catalogue showing 59AM19 please? I am trying to gather up as much historical details as possible about the car, I'm still hopeful for a MOD photo of the car on an official duty back in the 70's, not had much luck yet.

fv1609 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Kem the only picture I have of it is preserved at a show next to a Green Goddess, I expect you have seen that. Sorry no prices on this page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kem76 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thank you very much, brilliant! The picture of it next to the Green Goddess was at Duxford, they were not very keen to let us in to show the car, they didn't believe it was a military car - many times during the day I was told it wasn't a Land Rover! The car served at RAF Upavon, used for AVM's visits/outings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawtrylwt Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Would any one have the catalogue for the sale on 31/12/62 looking for a pioneer 59RB00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I don't know that there was a sale on 31/12/62 perhaps it was the date that it was struck off census? 59RB00 was sold on the second day of Sale No.68 on Wed 24/4/63 Lot No.706 for £450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawtrylwt Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks for the information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Here's the scan. The figures on the right are the prices achieved & the other figures are what the dealer was prepared to bid. He didn't seem to have been too successful on this page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
