(if it was a 32ICS10 or 10T I would of grabbed it just to have a spare on the shelf but being a 3 I dont want to keep parts that may or may not work, while I know that they may end up being needed by something they do work with) but yeah im not surprised in the slightest thats its just gone right back up for sale once he got the logbook for it, but hey ho, at least I have been able to ID the port hole car at long last after it showed up first in 2009! and reunite GIG with its ID and Logbook as well (and also just in general finally figure out the whole mystery of GIG, why it had 2 stories its the D701SWL of Model 70's almost) speaking of, on the carburettor front Adam got about a box of carbs from the hammond lot, and interestingly, as well as the usual 3's and 10T's in there there where a couple 32ICS10 no suffix's carbs in there, I had no idea that those where used on the Model 70, so thats another thing for the list to research (just incase those 2 non Suffix carbs happened to come from some other steyr puch vehicle like a 500DL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Cinq value because of the mileage, the Sarah because its a Ford, but the Rennow is just optimistic. Also it is probably the owners who are setting the reserves, thus the estimates. Brightwells would probably prefer no reserve and get a sale (and commission). grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the post auction prices off the website e.g. https://www.brightwells.com/timed-sale/5244 but they have no estimate/guide price on the front page. If you click through each individual lot it may show the estimate but often it doesn't - so if you're interested in what they go for compared to the guide price then I'm guessing grab a screen shot/catalogue now? grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
