Agreed, it reminded me of this old picture of a similar A&P that I have:

That's a lovely picture
Can you zoom in and read numbers licence plate?

The picture was taken in Debenham in Suffolk. The plate from what I can make out is Suffolk County Council 312.

No often you see a roller with a licence plate fitted. Somewhere I have a picture of an Essex County Council roller built in the 20"s fitted with one (and after the enamel licence plates were done away with). I have often wondered why...

Jim

any body got idea as to how much the plates went for ?

So was a deal done on the roller after the sale they never let it sale for 30k did they

Sold for 30k

This should provide something of a bench-mark for the recent 'how much is a roller worth' threads.

Sensible price. Good for those saving up

I would be very happy with both engines at the price. That's the best thing I like about auctions shows the true market price
