Found this while looking for other items, unfortunatly (for me) in the middle of NSW.

Tilpa and Louth are buggers to get gear out of .Not too many transport companies do that run
Almost the edge of my work region heading west

G'day All, I went on an invitation shoot :no4: on that property about 30+ years ago, I remember being buzzed by a low flying Cessna (tree-top height) one of the Murray's piloting the plane, checking on feral goats etc, good old daze long gone.
I can't say that I noticed any of the vehicles pictured above, it's a long way from Louth to a good sealed road, hope they don't have any rain etc around auction time, anyway cheers and thanks for posting, Dennis :sheep:

Had a look on the map and Louth really is "Back of Bourke"!

The grey jeep is a CJ3B from the early 1950's to 60's , they are still being manufactured in INDIA and called the Mahindra . The export examples have a license built Peugot diesel , but the local Indian market ones still use the old petrol F head motor as a option I think .

Unusual being LHD , must be a private import cos the few local ones sold here by Stokoe motors in Melbourne were RHD.

Another interesting thing is the RAAF used a few :

Also the other side of the black stump. :yappy:

The ww2 jeep that was in the clearing sale has now appeared on ebay for sale.

I Believe the the CJ ended up in Albury.

I forgot all about this clearing sale!
Do we have any other results?

A mate and I were going until he grandfather died and the funeral was the same day. He had a phone bit on the xy 4x4 ute and pulled out @ $18,000 :eek: That all I know.

Am I crazy or is this the same CJ3??

Yep, you're crazeeee.
Not sure where to start, but suggest you look at the steering wheel first.
Think the Louth one went for $7000 or so.

Ha! Shite, didn't even look at the steering wheel. Was looking at the front bar and tyres. Then I read the description and thought I had a conspiracy theory. :doh:

Looking in the background of new photos uploaded of this jeep

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1942-Will...item4cf964bed4

..you can see one of the Blitz trucks that was also in the clearing sale. A future ebay listing perhaps?

You missed your calling Ryan. You should have been a detective!

About the yellow blitz in the 2 photos - perhaps it has already been devoured by the scrappies - their truck was beside the Jeep. It would be a waste, but there's good steel in a Blitz.

It would be a very early GPW. Script body and chassis no.580.
