Yes it is, Richard, and it's often mistaken for Tom Kruse's Burdsville Track vehicle. It an excellent low-mileage C60L and was acquired for the 1986 150th of South Australia where Tom Kruse was involved re-enacting the Birdsville Mailrun. This was NOT the one I made a documentary about; that run happened in 1999.
Tom actually drove it around a paddock a few times for the cameras back in '86 and after the event it was donated to the local progress society which managed to ruin the engine in a very short space of time and since then it has sat opposite the pub on flat tyres looking rather sad for itself.
It was briefly joined in 2004 by Jeff Fullwood's homage to Tom in a trip he made in his C60L coinciding with the 50th celebrations for the launch of the Back of Beyond.



Jeff's C60L which he drove across the Simpson Desert.
