I also love the old advert from around 1970 also linked on that video from NZ, great stuff :D

There are a couple of interesting vehicles running around in the clip.
Early on there appears to be a Tickford SW, but its lines look very simple.
Also one vehicle used to run people around has very early production/prepro seat backs in the rear tub bolted to the sides of the tub, 2 each side.

after watching that -
I see how Solihull got iy right the first time.

Just this arvo a mate and I cleared about 4km of track into a touristic spot for the upcoming season post ITA.

Them big guards on the series 1 would have been a much better seating platform than the fender guards Justy was balancing on as we drove from fallen tree to fallen tree...

ps just wanna add that a brand new MS381 Magnum is a stonking post cyclone clean up hack saw ;)

best puch thru so far is a 1 metre diameter bloodwood on the 45 bevel to clear a nice track ... It just eats chips - love it!!!!!

anyways back to the 40s !
