Well, quite a few years since the last post.

The owner has it a Corowa as we speak. Looks like nothing has progressed since the above discussion 4 years ago. he says he is working on front guards but no discussion of the seemingly complicated pressed steel body.

Sale has been offered but I suspect it might take a serious investment.

It is nice to see such an unusual bit of history preserved and brought out for display.

Very cool vehicle, I love the X-distribution
We have a 6*4 SPA 35 Dovunque and then some home-made tractor made of smalles SPA, if you wanted I can send you few pics - maybe some spare parts are same and you could use them then.
Regards,
Frankie

I just talked to the SpA owner and he is very interested in spares as he has a second one he is rebuilding. Only two came to Australia. Any pics would be welcome.

Here are few pics. Located in Czech Rep. Not a artillery tractor, seems to be the small lorry.

Your vehicle is totally different to the one in Australia. I can not see anything the same either in the chassis or any of the mechanicals.

They must have produced different machines from the ground up.

Default Universal Coupler?

It is interesting to note that in the last pictures there appear to be two halves of a CMP "Universal Coupler" that would have been used on CMP Artillery Tractors between the PTO and Winch.
