Default Kurogane

We think there was a Kurogane 4x4 registered in Victoria at one time. Before the system was computerized , the Victorian reg. records were available on the old card system and you could have a look through them - not possible these days. The owners name cards were all destroyed in a purge. BTW you can look up any current reg number on the Vicroads website and get the engine number, chassis number and the registration status ..freedom of info !

Some of those captured vehicles in the ARN registers maybe would have belonged to civilian planters or maybe missionaries or the Dutch administration authorities. The captured sedans would have been used by high ranking Jap officers. It's a miracle that any of those cars survived Japanese ownership for 3 1/2 years
