Bob, I'd have said anything with a specialist body starts getting into the rare camp. Up until a few weeks ago I'd only seen one photograph of the Australian pattern Bofors Light Anti-Aircraft Tractor (Blueprint for Victory, p.166) and assumed none had survived; then this was posted: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=14814
No doubt someone will say that a number have made into into preservation but to me it's a rarity...

No.6 bodies
Alan the No.6 whilst being a lot less common than the Australian Wireless Sigs is not unique by any means with at least two under restoration and some 8 to 10 more in existence. A number of them were converted to a light breakdown configuration after the war by removing the rear body and adding a jib to become the "Metropolitan Wrecker". They were also fitted with dual rear wheels (as were some of the No6 when in service).
In my 2002 DVD "Year of the Blitz" there are some disturbing scenes of a No6 body being demolished and scrapped at Hughes in Coburg. Quote:
