    Hi,

    Yes, post the details you have and I'll see if I can find if it was sold in NSW.

    Vehicle No. 47662235; Engine no. 47108910; PTO (fitted with centre Power Take Off); Key 558; supplied to Winchcombe Carson (probably for a customer) by Grenville Motors on 27.8.54. Not registered in Sydney like your other one so no registration plate details.
    Probably passed on to the Mulbring BFB in later life.

    Yowza!!! That's a lot of detail though. I take it winchcombe Carson is a company? Or is that the first owner?

    Winchcombe Carson & Co and later Winchcombe Carson Ltd were woolbrokers and pastoralists, so likely it was for one of their properties or a customer. Quite a few vehicles went to them, some have added Yass, Harden, etc. - either a property or office, Stock & Station Agency or the like. Ask around the town.

    There is a book about the company apparently:
    A brief history of Winchcombe Carson Limited / compiled by Bruce Carberry, Blayney. - Version details - Trove

    Archives:

    Winchcombe, Carson Limited - ANU Archives

    The name is still around as Winchcombe Carson Financial Planning, owned by IOOF. Google it.

    Hello from Brisbane.

    Thought it might have been government issue.

    When I saw the original photos that you posted I thought it might have once belonged to the Plague Locust Commission - basically a Federal Government outfit that operated across the cereal belt locating and spraying locust swarms.

    I remember seeing a couple of PLC trucks in Canberra when they were new (late 70s) and they had the tropical roof and 3/4 canvas canopy. They were a very light green/cream colour which was also available for minis and probably a few other Leyland models at the time.

    Cheers,
