Our aim is to bring them to Corowa and Canungra some day.

Still it is an ultra-rare piece of australian army vehicle history and I think I can say without exaggeration that it is a truly unique find!
Steve, congratulations on your find! Even though it is unique, if you ever restore it, how much of it will be from the true ARN 139999? It the same with many warbird restorations, only a small percentage of the WW2 aircraft parts from a wreck go back into the sky. I'd consider preserving it as such and display it with its known history. My €0,02 worth, anyway. . . .

Regards,
Hanno
