Unusual instruction book
 

These may be common as mud in England, but this is the first time I've seen one here.

More books than there are surviving WOT8's, Keith :D Very few of them around now.

Hmmm
 

Why am I not surprised?
At least it's an interesting book, sort of familiar but so different in many other ways such as the electrical system and non-hydraulic brakes!!!

The owner had written his name in the book, I looked him up, born in 1914, served in the army here.

Keith,
A friend of mine had the 3 tonner version, the WOT6, which I did a lot of work on, they had good points and bad. The 12 volt electrics made starting superb, but as you say, cable and rod brakes with no servo assistance, for a vehicle grossed at 8 tons .... not good.

Wot8
 

A challenge for the brave restorer. A WOT8 or 6 ? is sitting in the Narre Warren collection , out the back . It has slowly deteriorated over the years ..maybe too far gone . It has faded ACF logos on the doors ( a six pointed red star with the ACF script ) ..would have been places MIKE ..ACF= Aust. comforts fund .
