This pick-up truck sells for £820, you are going to spend thousand's to get that back on the road and yet my pick-up truck was sold for £6K.
So the question is, if vans are worth more than pick-up's what is this worth?
There are some silly prices being paid over here for J type projects.I thought there was a recession in Britain, that's why my bosses have deemed NO pay rises yet again (not even cost of living). I looked back through all my old pay slips, (I have every one since I started work as an apprentice, age 16, the days of pounds,shillings and pence). I was earning a lot more money ten years ago than I'm now, there's inflation for you.!!
Only a few months ago I was thinking about a five speed gearbox conversion for the JB, as the clutch cover was collapsing and the thrust lever in the gearbox was badly worn . I look at my bank balance now and at the moment I cannot even afford a clutch cover!
I will have to take a long hard look at my fleet and decided which is the next one to sell.
Well thanks for the interest in the j on my auction.
The next thing for sale on eBay is a 1929 Albion lorry which is in need of renavation but in suprizingly good condition. Great blog site
