Seen this yet Deano? OKA Owners Group : OKA Owners Group

Easo

They were made in Perth.Perkins turbo diesel and Dana running gear.Originally ran 9.00x16 tyres,but went to a larger diameter rim later when the 9.00 tyres became hard to buy in WA.
They were popular with mining exploration companies,minesite transport and off-road tourist coaches.The bodies were all modular,ranged from single cab,dual cab,triple cab,bus and ambulance bodies.
Shame they are not still made.
Very tough,biggest problem was they were a tad overweight.

Hey Grock! Seen any of theis up your way?

It looks abit like a Blackpool built Podmore Grumpy 1.2 ltr 4x4 convertable unit,which in five minutes can be converted from a fish and chip van to a moblie toilet block or caravan and even a mobile cinema other options in there broshure are easi clean wheels, AM/LW radio cassette with one speaker which doubles as a PA system when being used as a nosey parker gov snooper vehicle,sealed beam torch and belt hook.

I thought they were finished too. That's great.

Good to hear.
The factory in Bibra Lake sat empty for years.Good to see somebody bought them out.
