Just out of Traralgon heading towards Sale , on the South side . There are 3 CMP's parked in front of Murphy's Motor INN . No signs visible , so don't know if they are for sale or why they are there ?

The pick of them is a neat F15 with a straight cab and virtually no rust . The others are a rough C15 signals van that I previously saw for sale at Bendigo swap about 7 years ago , and a rough C 60L ?

I have no connection with anyone at the location .

Mike the F15 looks a lot better than the other one you found down that way.

What is the story & why are they there??

The word is he is a reluctant collector.

The trucks are not for sale. Just a display at this stage, but he's working toward a restoration of trucks....very soon.

I called in yesterday to look at this collection and to try and find out what was going on and Ithe owner was not there. His assistant allowed me to take photos and directed me to the others out the back. So here are a few more photos of the Traralgon Blitzs.

The radio van is the only one with its id. plate
