Re: Re: The late Alec Bilney’s Traction on Ebygum

The bidder paid 16.8k including commission. I went to the viewing and thought it could have been better presented. The roof rack rather spoilt it being fastened on with rag or paper under the clamps. The extra row of seats just appeared to be dumped in the back and the space available for them seemed too small – perhaps the front seats were pushed back. The other thing I noticed was that the windscreen wiper arms appeared to be fashioned from wire coat hangers.

Perhaps the advertising of this car was a bit limited. I saw it in FP at 25k but only noticed it on ebay when the auctioneers had it on their books and rang me up about it. As for European advertising there’s a lot on offer and perhaps not a great appetite for buying – the pricing might be quite optimistic.
