Maybe this should be in Marketplace alerts, although it does not really fit there. While on the trip to Sydney and back I bought a number of magazines etc to read on the train. These included "The Old Machinery Magazine" June/July 2007. Advertised in their classifieds is a Series 2 diesel. No details are given but from the picture it is in exceptionally good condition (and is described as "excellent working condition" - it is a tray top ute 109. It is located in Goulburn, and a phone number is given, which I will pass on to anyone interested.

If it is actually a Series 2 rather than a Series 2a, it is quite a rare bird, although parts for the 2 litre diesel are hard to find, and performance is poor even compared to the 2.25 diesel.
