    It's from Greep Mythology:
    Sisyphus was a king punished by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. He is also found in Roman mythology.


    The word "sisyphean" means "endless and unavailing, as labor or a task"

    Could be very apt for an old land driver owner/driver !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    No numbers are missing. The PMC plate gives wheel base then body assembly no.

    No records exist.

    On a 11a the best you can hope for is a date range according to suffix, an analisys of changes by timeline(although not definitive) or an original line of rego papers indicating the details in the registered states computer system.

    Hi there and welcome!

    Post the chassis number and engine numbers and I will see if it is in the Grenville Motors records that have survived. The PMC number is not listed but chassis and engine numbers are. These records are basically only for NSW where Grenville Motors were the Distributors but occasionally swaps were done with the other State Distributors so that is not absolute.
