Very interesting Commer bus

Does anyone recognise this type of crane ? :confused
Is it WW2 vintage and what would it normally be found on ? :confused

Andrew, That Commer bus may have been one of the Melbourne TAA City to Airport buses. I remember them from when I was a little bloke. I was always amazed by the upstairs bit.
Regards Rick.

here's a similar crane in RAAF service. :)

Thanks for replies :salute:
Very interesting

Todays spotting
Quite a sad Chev

Very forlorn F15A

Another
Quite reasonable
1943 Ford
Before anyone gets excited... It is not for sale

F15a
 

At least there's an engine cover there.
Looks like it's in no-rust territory, but if it can't be ruined by rust they bash it to pieces like this poor thing.

1943 Jeep
 

I bet it is another I am going to restore it one day story.

:bang: Bob

And all this time I thought the saying was "Fire in the Hole " when it is "Ford in the Hole "

ford in the hole
 

...and I'll get in first and say to all the chev lovers,' back off! That's not where fords belong.'
:no4:

It's a sad place for any truck to be :doh:

Bathurst
 

Spent the day at Bathurst V8 supercar Races today
All holden 1,2,3 unfortunately no Fords on the podium
Tander over lowndes by the closest margin
Fast cars and some very nice line women to boot

Watched the Race On TV
 

Hi Andrew

They covered the race, I think for the first time live, on TV here in the States 7PM to 2AM. My wife Margaret comment on it being real live because it was taking place tomorrow.

Very interesting and impressive race, would be interesting to see what would happen if some of the NASCAR boys took their cars down to race. I suspect the NASCAR boys would have trouble keeping their cars on the track.

Cheers Phil

Pics
 

I wonder how many of us will admit to ignoring the car pics and immediately clicked on pic No. 4 :nono:

That's a no brainer Mike of corse picture 4 is the most important :D

A couple more

Well?
 

OK, OK, you have my interest!
The cab 12 seems to have all of the bits that go missing... Is the instrument cluster in there? Engine covers?

Just for you H
He was asking $2K+

Any other details?

Quite fitting on Australia Day
Found this Little Aussie having a sunbake (even if it is on a british vehicle) in the backyard :cheers:

British
 

British and busted? :yappy:

The Frill neck looks just like the one on our old 2c pieces.

Same value as the Jag!

Not really busted . Same month and year of production as me
Same issues ,paintwork not so good , a bit of rust and some systems dont work as well as they used to :D

Heres something I came across on the net for the Jeep boys

chunky tyres and no ground clearance :doh:
