Peter Sayer
Peter Sayer moved to Stockton, just outside Beccles in 1940 when his parents moved from Norwich to
take over as landlords of the Stockton “Black Boy” public house. Mr Sayer was a Royal Engineer and
was stationed in Egypt during the Second World War. He worked on military railway engines, as well
as motorised vehicles. The passion for restoration of the military vehicles that he had been trained on
grew and the collection started to take shape in the early 1970’s. As someone who had served in WWII
he wanted the vehicles to be restored to an original condition and as good running order as possible.
The sale is the product of one man’s lifelong passion for his chosen subject – in this case military
vehicles (WWII era), radios, vehicle and air ministry, and a vast collection of uniforms and military
related equipment. Within the collection there is a WWII airborne folding bicycle by B.S.A. in
outstanding original condition. Amongst the equipment are mine detecting sets, complete in their
crates and cable laying reel with rods. The radio collection spans from very early WWII through the
war until post war examples. No. 11 sets, No. 19 sets and No. 38 A.F.V. sets are amongst the
collection. There is also a vast amount of spares and parts both for WWII and post war
vehicles. Extensive tools and workshop goods also feature in this sale.
The star lots within the sale are of course the: 1943 Bedford M. W. 15cwt truck, complete with radio set
No 19, 1942 Austin “Tilly” Light Utility 10hp model G/YG, and the 1941 Ford “Woody” V8 3.6lt station
wagon which was made in Canada.
All of these vehicles are in running order and have been restored to an extremely high standard and
come with their original V5 documents. Not only were they exhibited in the UK and abroad (including
th
60 anniversary events in Antwerp for the Woody and the Tilly), but these vehicles never travelled via
low loader – they were all driven there and back again.
We are delighted and honoured to be holding such an historic sale for a gentleman who turned his
knowledge and passion into an extraordinary collection of Militaria and rare Military vehicles.
Acknowledgements
Durrants Auctioneers would like to take this opportunity to thank Bill Purchase, Ian McCallum and
John Sayer for their invaluable help and support in putting this extensive sale together.
Their combined knowledge on vehicles and radios is second to none and it has been a privilege as
well as a huge learning curve for us to work with them.
