smallclaas Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Not bad, a bit of potential there for 2 quid. What would it be worth with a tidy up and paint job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yeah, bit of a bargain alright, shouldn't be too hard to renovate either. Getting a good paint finish would be the trickiest part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Not bad, a bit of potential there for 2 quid. What would it be worth with a tidy up and paint job? I sold 2 last year ,one for ?100 and the other for ?80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Not bad, a bit of potential there for 2 quid. What would it be worth with a tidy up and paint job? I was going to say around the 100 quid mark but unpainted DONT paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I was going to say around the 100 quid mark but unpainted DONT paint it. My customer wants this restored .I can't argue with the customer ,the customer is king I would have left it if it was mine though . I will post up a picture later to show progress .

MJB1 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 how much would it be worth with a replacement axle & or just as it is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 how much would it be worth with a replacement axle & or just as it is ? Well its a more unusual version because its a late blue/orange one with the lugs for the Shawnee Poole dump trailer . I haven't got one of this type and I would have given my friend ?40 for it as it was . It is debatable for the value ,it depends how much someone is willing to pay for it . I may pay more than someone else .Somebody else would throw a model like this away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
