Every so often someone does a survey of surviving whatevers and publishes their findings. I don't remember seeing any lists of these little ACs, but hope springs eternal.

Here is a link to a list of survivors.
http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving...Scout_Cars.pdf I did a reasonable bit of work last year to the example in the RCA museum here in Shilo. Fresh brakes, fresh wiring, and a bit of cosmetics. It is fun to drive, and sure a crowd pleaser. The one change I made was installing an electric fuel pump (controlled by a toggle switch on the dash) for guaranteed starting along with an oversized fuel filter on the frame. After sitting for a year, I can hop into it, flip the master switch, and it starts every time. As for value, one sold the other year for around $30K from Australia. I heard rumour it was coming to Canada, so by the time you factor in the shipping, I guess she ran $35 to 40K. The example in Shilo is in the 5000 serial range, which is puzzling since most reports give a significantly lower production number.

Hi all, the one Rob talks about I think you will find is the one I imported last year from Aussie. I have both the MkI and MkII
New Zealand forces used these in action in Italy during WWII Here is a thought, was there about 3225 total built? and the parts books show the different axles on MkII starting from serial number 3000, does this mean only 225 MkII built ( Has bigger diff, different ratio ) can anyone shed light on this fact??

Sounds like you may have beat someone else here who was talking about importing it. Your observation about the axles is along the lines of my thoughts as well. I think Bill Gregg's used the expression "at least" 3325, and that has since morphed into that being used as the production number. Again, Shilo's hull serial number is in the 4000+ range with a date of 1945. I think that may lead credence to the production being in that neighborhood. What other serial numbers are observed on existing mk2 hulls? Last edited by rob love; 05-04-13 at 14:49.
