norseman 02 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'm considering returning to the world of MV ownership after a gap of some 18 years, but WW2 vehicles currently offered for sale with slogans such as ''ready for Normandy '80'' make me think that delaying a purchase until after this prestigious event would be financially beneficial. Anyone else thinking along the same lines ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Yes, Normandy ready may mean you'd pay a bit more. A bit like selling a convertible in rainy cold fall/winter or in a sunny springtime. On the other hand more people may want to buy one after Norrmandy because the've seen them driving on the roads or on trailers. Main thing is to not be hasty, take your time to see what's for sale and at what prices. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think that's good advise. Take your time, take a look at the market, choose a type or manufacturer you prefer and bide your time until something ticks your boxes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67burwood Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 You’ve also got the 80th anniversary of Market garden this year so prices are likely to be slightly inflated, personally I think your better to wait until the end of the year until the show season is over and compare prices then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonb Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I thought prices would fall after D-Day 75 but they went up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I can't yet see a time when the rising price bubble will burst in the military vehicle scene. As someone who keeps a close eye on the market there haven't really been any 'ready to rally but can be kept at home' bargains to be had for a good six or seven years now. That is purely my opinion of course as it all depends what you are looking for and what your budget is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right, though I'm wouldn't be in the 'kept at home' market .. never really been excited by Jeeps etc. Most likely be looking for GMC CCKW or WC62/63 Smallest choice, in terms of physical size, would be a WC51/52 Do like Dodges, owned both WC54 & WC57 in the distant past. I'd love a Diamond T 968 but don't own an oil well ! Edited March 2 by norseman 02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
