M20 on Milweb.

There's an M20 in Holland for sale on Milweb for £6500. The same guy is also selling a G3L for only £5000. Ron

Re: M20 on Milweb.

Hard to believe you could nearly buy a Bren Carrier or a Dingo for the price of those 2 bikes.

Re: M20 on Milweb.

Don't you believe it Mike. I wouldn't sell my Carrier under £35000, judging by what I have seen for sale lately. Cut down wrecks with most parts missing can be £8000-£12000. A NOS set of tracks for sale in Oz at present for over £4000. Ron

Re: M20 on Milweb.

Yes youre right but in theory I am close. Carriers have gotten pricey as well. There is a nice running Dingo around for 30k US dollars.

Re: M20 on Milweb.

ron you didnt say it was an RAF one these are much rarer your from cloud cuckoo land

Re: M20 on Milweb.

I don't know why you think I'm on Cloud Cuckoo Rog? I made no comment about the value of this bike. However the seller states it's 1945 ex RAF and I can't find an RAF contract in that year. If painting your bike Blue adds £2000 to it's value, I think I'll buy a few gallons of RAF blue and retire young Ron

Re: M20 on Milweb.

This bike is patently not worth the money...even in todays inflated market. I could buy and build a 'concourse' M20 for that price..this one hasn't even had a mechanical overhaul, never mind the incorrect cosmetics...Ian

Re: M20 on Milweb.

Ron. Like most of these toys they are more attractive to look at than to own. Last week I went down to Devon for an army reunion, I used to drive American DUKWs, we were the only company in the forces that did drive them. My last dealing with them was in 1969 when I got demobed although they continued to use them till 1974 when the whole coy was disbanded. On the reunion I went to Instow where they still have five in various states of repair & modification and I got to take one out again in the estuary across to crow point & back (very nostalgic) But the point I am making is that while it was great to take one out again, I don't think I would like the upkeep expense. Even at Instow they are converting them with Cummings diesel engines, doing away with the winches etc.
The big stuff is o.k. for anyone who has the resorces to keep them going but I get just as bigger kick out of just seeing them again at shows etc
