Hi Guys,
I like the megaphone next to the wireless operators seat, in case the WS fails?
Cheers,
Dave

Default No, no, no....

The megaphome was used to call back the poor chaps who sat at the rear behind the rear axle..... once they bounce out of the box you had to yell at them to find you in the following dust cloud.....

...on the other hand...rather nice vehicle to take you mother in law for a ride..... Sit back here mother dear..... enjoy the fresh air!!!!

Haven't seen these pics, thanks Bob. What chassis was used? Was it the van one or truck?

Default Megaphone

Does this remind anyone else of "Gonaphones"?

Default yes

My fav. vehicle but I always never managed to get one .... back in the 80's I came across a nice one in NSW ... but the old ownner wouldn't part ... its still there as far as I know .

I just missed a 11Y , the 1941 version with 9.00-16 wheels at a auction in 1990 ,again in NSW . Would be the best example around , it was half restored and sold to the tank man at Narre Warren - he also has a 39 version with the cameo grill ... he made up new ute section side panels ..very clever work , we had a tour of his worksop where the bits were.

Danny S. in QLD is currently restoring one , a 01Y .

John N. down Geelong has one too .. a 11Y he's restoring now .

I looked at a very stuffed 11Y near Werribee at a Garden centre ..totally stuffed it was and he wanted ridiculous money for it .

There are a few around

the chassis is 122" wheelbase , standard FORD light commercial ...

the 1939 version with cameo grill has different brakes I think

Desperately needs a generous coating of khaki (or other suitable military paint) doesn't it. It's just not right looking like that!
