Thanks for those great pics. Very informative. I have seen a couple or vehicles recently that were authentic GAMES but not that original. The pics certainly help.

Have a look at the little wrap around parts on/near the rear bumperettes. I have not seen these on other shorties. Are these another GAME feature?

This is probably not of much interest,but there was a lady that worked at a landscaping place near Waterford that had a genuine game in pretty good original nick.This was a few years ago.
I wonder if she is on here?

I believe so, but I could be wrong. They were probably fitted to allow room for the length of Aussie number plates.

Cheers, Mick.

Guy's thought the attached Overlander mag article may be of interest also. Nice cars by the way. I'm way jealous!:(

Regarding the different types of 'Sunraysia' rims, I think it might relate to this.
The original 'Sunraysia' wheel was introduced by a company called 'Wheels International' in Sydney, who built a 10 spoke 4WD rim that used a 3/8" centre plate, with the spokes directly welded to the rim (usually supplied by ROH)
These things were bloody heavy and very strong, and being made here weren't exactly cheap either.
I was only a kid at the time, so the time line may be a little out, but a year or so after introduction Wheels International introduced a new rim in the range the 'Sunraysia II' with a dished and coined centre and a 360* weld where the centre attached to the rim. These were quite a bit lighter (thinner centre plate) and IIRC were actually made in Japan.

The original Game's I saw used the original Sunraysia's, as did LNC Industries who were the then Jeep importer on some of their 'specials'.
