Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Saturday auctions at operators' premises are still going strong, according to Commercial Vehicle Auctions (CVA) and Malcolm Harrison.

A well-attended CVA sale held on behalf of VJ Harper at a site near Wisbech, Carnbs saw a selection of Volvo FLio 6xz tractive units-1991 to 1994

vintage sell for between £1,5oo and i2,5o0. Schmitz and York triaxle r3.6m fridge trailers on air suspension dating back to 1990 and 1991 were bought for around £5,500 apiece, and there was keen bidding for the wide assortment of workshop equipment on offer.

The star turn, however, was a fullyrestored Gardner-powered 1959 Foden Sao flatbed, which went for Lio,000. Having paid for it, the lucky purchaser apparently climbed up behind the wheel, and drove it straight back to Wales.

• Unusual kit attracts keen bidding, as an auction organised by Malcolm Harrison at the Hold Heath, Worcester premises of machinery installation and removal specialist Reddi Haul revealed. Over 300 people attended.

A 1997 Daf 95XF 480 Space Cab 6x2 rear lift rigid with a Fassi F38o crane made ,t58,000.

£33,000.
