Thread: apparently about a 1952 s1 regular use

this is a s1 ute, still in regular use by its owners on a fruitblock here in the riverland. The owner reckons that somewhere he has papers from its original sale from the govt. stating it is ex military.

Im not up with the s1 but told him I dont believe its an EMLR because it doesnt appear to have anything that looks remotely like its ex mil..

he has told me he has the orig motor etc, grill surrounds etc in the shed and hasnt cut or shut anything, making the grill surround so that he could fit the holden and not modify/damage the original vehicle! (thats dedication)

interior very standard but with the small circular "butterfly door" foot burning heater! (one of which I'd love to have by the way!--hint hint...)
dont have photos of interior as using camera phone and its like pulling teeth to take a photo!



anyway, photos attached-- hope its of interest....no its definately NOT for sale---(apparently pulls two fruitbin trailers at a time when working.!!)
