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
