An F30 CMP under restoration. It's driveable now with brakes.

A Dodge Fargo Fire Appliance assembled in NZ in WW2 in case of Japanese attack. There were two versions, one with a pump and one with a water tank.
The inside cab roof has untouched paint from WW2 which is the NZ shade of Khaki Green.

A C8AX Wireless truck with a wooden body. Between 24 and 50 are believed to have been produced. They were used in the Solomons campaign, but found to be very hot inside with poor ventillation.
They were fitted with the NZ designed ZC1 Radio set, which was equivalent to the No19. There was an overlap in the band so they could communicate with the infantry's No 48 sets.
