Nev. Morris of Dalby has one in his extensive collection of engines, machinery, vehicles. He showed it at the Hack Day in Toowoomba a few years ago. I have seen it running. Amongst others, Nev has a Mk.20 Merlin that runs. a Hall-Scott 36 litre V12 installed in a vintage Chev. truck and a GMC V12 11.1 litre truck engine he has made into a replica of a veteran raceabout. All are goers.
