    Today we went to an auction in Redditch of a family’s collection of vintage vehicles. A lot was agricultural and construction plant. We went to look at a Shepherds Hut but it went for too much.

    There was this lovely vehicle that was one of the last items up.

    I’m pretty certain it was a runner, had lots of equipment.

    Guess how much it went for :). It’s a 1957 Bedford.

    Just shows if something has little beneficial use, nostalgia gives it very little value

    Ooh!
    I like that, I need that.
    However no matter how cheap it was I'd still be in trouble if I'd bought it.
    Plus, I don't have enough pallets to hide it behind.

    There was a hanger at Biggin Hill full of them as well, they used to come and service them once a year.

    For a short while @Bulletooth was closest until @Dubs had a guess :).
    I’m going on bid amount so there would actually be fees etc to add on.
