Market commentary

The low bodywork of this Crane Simplex would not have looked out of place ten or even fifteen years after it was first mounted on this chassis. Carefully preserved and maintained for the last sixty years, its condition is outstanding. One of several extremely well preserved, origil vehicles in the Chandler collection, it is a sound value at this price.
