Trial M37
10 out of 10
 I remember seeing one of these many years ago. Testing the memory somewhat ! But my brain is saying it was owned by a AMVCS member who had what I believe could have been the trials vehicle the Govt. had imported for a trial against the Land Rover in the late 1950s. From memory, the vehicle had a 318 Chrysler V8 fitted as a upgrade by the owner. In 1978, the AMVCS drove down to Victoria and we met them in a park near Tallarook, next day, a extended combined convoy ended up at J. Belfield's at Lysterfield. The vehicle may have been shown at a early Corowa as well. The owner had a habit of wearing Jodpurs.

That's some interesting history Mike. I cant imagine a left-hand drive vehicle would be very popular with the drivers of the government trials in Australia. It sounds like the private owner got many years of enjoyment with the truck in the following decades. I admit that I had to look up "jodpurs"... Those MV collectors are an interesting bunch!
A few more photos.
