I bid two genocide Baskervilles and a tin of Gorgon mezzahalls. I would legally like to state now that the mezzahalls are not tiled, or mosaiced. They are strawed, sweet artistic straw.

Are antelope and gazelle parts interchangable? I'm not joking. I really don't know.
-- Zen Clown (martys@iland.net), October 02, 2002.
While not wishing to throw doubt on your bona fides Hurley; could you please post the chassis and registration number of said antelope?I would hate to bid on any stolen beast, or one that's been an insurance write-off.
We've all heard these horror stories about 'cut and shunt' animals, where one half is a 1985 springbok, and the other half is a 1990 Thomson's gazelle, all with the paperwork of a 1972 vauxhall victor.
You get halfway across the savanah, a leg drops off, and next thing you know you're careering towards a pack of hungry lion, totally out of control.
Well never again!

My bid still stands, although I am slightly worried by Susan's pronouncements. Please be forthcoming with these details. I would also like to know ALL previous owners, including regency.

Sorry, not interested. I was planning to use a few of its bits, modulok style, on an ugly buffalo I purchased from Little Bighorn back in the day. It's had its front feet shot off by whitey.

Well that all seems to be in order.How about an exchange/PE for a well-used all-terrrain Okapi (ex military, hence unknown history, but fully restored to civilian spec)?
-- Sue Denim (s.denim@aol.net), October 03, 2002.
VERY interested in ex MoD okapi. is it broadarrow marked?? what are ordnance numbers?? recently acquired a 6b/159 (air ministry c.1941 -- probably used in battle of britain) thompson's, a lovely piece, full of wabi-sabi!!! is there a strong vinegar odor?? is bladder still watertight??
-- hurley (michel@tcn.org), October 03, 2002.
Yes - there's a broadarrow marking on the bottom, with the word "Admiralty" and the date, 1955. The animal was originally finished in standard battleship grey on the upperside, Royal blue below the waterline, with the target markings of the Royal Marines on the rear flanks. The ordnance part/depot number is RNA74395/1955-Z3M5WV; which I understand indicates original service at Portsmouth. It's the model with retractable undercarriage and superchargers fitted. May have seen active service in the Suez crisis of 1956.Unfortunately, the superchargers have had to be disabled to make it 'road legal', and the present livery is the standard civilian high-gloss beige and chestnut brown.
Never been raced or rallied.

i bid a cicken egg, an aligator foot, a slighty mouldy spare tyre, a small goose (which may be male or female noone knows) and a pair of soiled underwear(which were found inside a small hampster).
