A couple of friends own '39 examples, so I imagine the same positives and negatives apply. Are engines and parts available? Do people have any advice that you may like to share? It's a learning experience for me. I have access to comprehensive vintage aviation restoration facilities, so the tin work is under control.

There are some great pics on the Australian War Memorial site, and these have given me a few ideas.

Cheers,

The treasurer of the MV club down here (VMVC) has had one for sale for many years , he did some restoration work on it and he's trying to get his money back .

They are reasonably common. I've seen a few around but how many of them are military ?

Being a Chev , parts are no problem .
