I thought they were about market price. They are generally advertised for around $2k to $2.5k but generally re-sell in the civilian market for around $700 to $1000.Quote:

I've got my eye on a few that may be coming on the market soon.
The C&C now in my backyard was ARN 34-587, came from QLD probably one in the batch sold at Eagle Farm in Oct 2011. Needs a little work but generally in good condition:)
Which one did you get?Quote:

I've got a few more orders to fill before yours but I'm confident I'll find one for you.
I got the second of the three auctioned. It is built like the proverbial brick outhouse. It sits rather high, but I might investigate moving the axle to above the springs when I dismantle it for refurbishment. It is rather wide for a box trailer - I had to remove the wheels to fit it on the 2.0m wide car trailer.Quote:

Now I need to get something in the matching colour scheme to tow it with !:angel:
Changing the axle location works if you're going to tow it with the family sedan.

Change nothing on it and buy a Perentie 6x6 cargo.
Change the wheels to Perentie or Defender 130 wheels and dump the Disco ones. ;)Quote:

With the right towbar tongue I should be able to get it to sit level behind my Disco2 which has 2inch lift. Can always change it back to original configuration if a Perentie finds its way into the yard.
Couldn't let that go .....Quote:

Sorry Diana :)
