Reply With QuoteOne of the oldest is owned by an a gentleman in Sydney a 49 model but I believe that there is one older that was a private import into WA also a 49 model (older by Chassis Number)

No, I dont have it or know where it is, hence this thread. It would be interesting to find out who has it....authenticated of course and even a list of perhaps the ten oldest in Australia.....or has this already been done?

Isn't there a prototype floating around WA somewhere?

Yes, that is Pre-Production L48 (left hand drive) that came from Argentina via the UK to WA.Originally Posted by Killer
R860004 is in WA - along with R860130.
Some other early imports to Victoria appear to have been lost (R860005, R860026, R860103)
R860136, 137, 138*, 139*, 164*, 165 came to Sydney as the first batch - arriving from November/December 1948 and those marked * still exist. I have a lot of R860137. R860138 was the Grenville Motors demonstrator vehicle.
A number of others up to the 1000th vehicle produced (that were imported into Australia) still exist and many have been completely restored or refurbished mechanically, retaining their aged look. Some have been featured on AULRO.

It had a sluice box on the back and spent a lot of time with the back end in the Goulburn sluicing for gold.

great photo Gromit, if thats a '48 it would qualify as the oldest perhaps....has it disappeared?

Great photo Colin.
It would be nice to see more vehicles at Shows with the equipment they were fitted with rather than being totally reconditioned to factory specs and finish (or better)

SupporterLast the Father-in-Law saw of it was in the Howqua river above Jamieson.
Back then it was just a working vehicle, he always knew it was a early one but it wasn't worth anything.
I have a couple of other pictures somewhere, one with a hardtop fitted.

Made safe but unrestored. Lots of original owner mods but left as it was when it was a working vehicle.
