Hi Guys

Wow, I didn't expect such a great feedback!

I guess the weight is going to be a problem. If it's over 3,5 t I would have to make a truck licence. But the bad thing is, truck driving on Sundays isn't allowed in Switzerland and you have to pay a road tax. Don't know if for Oldtimers too.

I guess I have first to check with the road registration department the details.

My personal Blitzhunter, Max, is already hot for the treasure hunting in Down Under ;-) The truck should be in the Yass area and not in Northern Territory or even Perth ;-)

It would be great fun to drive my own Blitz to Corowa and back and then take it back home. What about the prices in Europe, is there a great difference comparing with Aussie?

Well, in Switzerland I've only seen one Ford Blitz so far. Are all of them in Holland/Belgium? The Swiss Army used only a handful of them after the war.

greetings
Chris
