Default Hathi

Where are they now? I have spent many many hours trying to find one of the Thornycroft "Hathi" trucks. Australia had, from what I have been able to ascertain, 8 of these trucks which arrived in the early 1930's were still on the books after the end of WWII.

I would love to find one to restore, so WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Here are a few photos of the Hathi in action.
