[SEL] Oz Auction Report

[Mick Christie]

G'day Patrick
Thanks for the report. The broken parts on the engines were actually broken 
a few years ago as i went to see the collection and he said he had broken 
them a week before i turned up! i dont think he cared much for the engine as 
what he was saying to me at the time.
   Cheers
        Mick
