If only I had a time machine.......

I may go to the auction, I am waiting to see the catalogue. But the auction is Retro mobile Paris. It's one of the big classic car auctions. So attracts millionaire buyers for the multi million euro cars on sale. The Jeep will probably be the cheapest thing there. But probability of some rich git buying it just so his 5 year-old and sit in it and play soldiers is high!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I would have parted with one of my Dukes to secure a Jaffa!

Well I got some good news today!
I spoke to my boss today regarding the Jeep; because the auction has been postponed.
I raised my offer and she has accepted. So I'm really happy about that.

Now we need to sort out the paperwork etc.
Looking forward to getting it home! it needs a little bit of work but is complete.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

That's excellent news that you got the Jeep. I thought that you still had a chance of getting it provided that you "stayed positive".
