Default Wot

We first laid eyes on that vehicle many years ago. The VMVC had a couple of XMAS trips to the previous yard at Lysterfield , along Wellington road. Would have been 1976 the first one. Anyway Ash Wednesday burnt out the Lysterfield yard , John nearly lost the whole collection , he moved to the new spot only a short time before the massive bush fire.

A couple of us were hoping we could restore it as a club project but that idea never got past the initial thoughts. It was in better condition back then , the ACF logo was not so faded. Andrew B has a pic or two of it somewhere .

Good luck with it
