Wonder what it'll sell for?

I will get in to trouble for rivet counting but it is a 50 model.

DennisWith a 2 litre engine, so unfortunately not so genuine original as suggested. However to give credit to him he does mention the engine and wheels.

What isn't present are the spacers for the split rims on the bonnet mount and the trafficators which were all standard kit for the Brit Army 80".

No one seems to have commented on the price?

Not to mention the headlights through the grille.

Nice car!

Seems a fair price to me if it is as good as claimed. Were the split rims available in 1950? My book lists them as optional equipment on the 88".

[slug_burner]

What are the red things on the fishplates?

They look like a concession to modern traffic aids, blinkers/indicators.

Wow:o up to GBP 5,200.00 (approximately AU $11,237.58) and still a week to go!

I think they are blinkers instead of the trafficators.

Not to mention the headlights through the grille.
They look like the correct 5" headlights behind the grill for an early 1950, although they do look like modern 5" sealed beams or halogen reflectors.


Wow:o up to GBP 5,200.00 (approximately AU $11,237.58) and still a week to go! That's why our ones sometimes get put into containers and shipped to the U.K.

I would carefully check out its provenance ....It could be a mock up . So many vehicles are advertised under false pretences . Does it have the MOD plate on it ?

I've been caught buying stuff on EBAY.. the problem is .. in many cases you cannot inspect what your buying beforehand.

I know of an Australian assembled RHD 1940 Dodge sedan ..restored as a WW2 staff car.. the car was sold in the UK . It was done up in desert colours as in the AIF Middle East . Hmmm .Well , the AIF didn't use Dodges in the first place ..only Fords and Chevs , a deliberate policy to aid spare parts and maintenance ( official documants and photos prove this ). And the car was a Taxi anyway ... as far as we know it was never in the army . A UK buyer has sold it on and its fake provenance is now building up as each new owner adds to the story ... See what happens !
