Robert,

Nice job, it looks a picture.

I remember rows of White Scout Cars lined up in storage at Singleton when I was there in 1967 (along with Humber one tonners). They were all new or near to.

I suspect most Whites in Australia came from these stocks and were not used during WW2.

About 20 of them were driven out onto the bombing range at Singleton and basically blown to bits by the RAAF and the Army training with anti-tank weapons. They are probably still there. The rest were most likely auctioned off in the late 60's/early 70's.

From memory the colour scheme was the 1950's all-over bronze olive (dark green) not any WW2 colour or the Vietnam olive drab.
