Hi Robert - you are not doing bad for a guy who has only been with us for a year. HOWEVER time to stop stroking Keefy and find me some Carriers and the other sixteen Australian Armoured Cars.

Both belong to Andrew of Bago he is hoping to find enough parts to work on them one day. The Chev is two chassis welded together one is a C15A the other is a 60SorL the engine and gear box are austin. The ford he hs a spare engine for but he is going to have to look for a lot of parts.

This is another Batlow blitz, a F60L Modified original tray with spare tyre carrier mounted on top of tray and wheel arches flatened for carting apple bins. It is sheded but hasn't been started for seven or eight years. It is for sale he has $4000 wrien in chalk on the door.
Thats it until I find some more. I hope the Forestry has their restored fire truck out at apple blossem so I can snap it.

Sorry to butt in, but this seems a good a place as any to post pics of discoveries.

Turned up this crook old Ford. The most interesting thing of note is the pair of 25pdr wheels with 1939 dated tyres, and the moss-covered aircraft tyre fitted to the back with a small tree growing up through the chassis!

Yes, the rust has a good hold on that one. Nice to see a few goodies are still there such as the Ford badge, overflow tank and both doors (assuming they aren't too rusty).

Where is it?
