Gidday,
I am still on the lookout for a WW2 wheeled armoured vehicle, such as M3 scout car, Daimler Dingo, Lynx, M20, M8, Morris/Ford gun tractor etc. Must be restored or at least a good runner. Would also consider Ferret Mk 1 or Mk ½ or a Fox. Not much for sale in NZ at present so am keen to see what is out there, especially in aussie. I will be in Corowa in March so would be keen to make contact with anyone who is selling or considering selling. PM me please if you have anything on the market or if I could twist your arm into selling. Thanks. Darryl |

Can't help with info on what is available in your part of the world, but contrary to what some sources say those gun tractors were not armoured. However, if you get the chance to buy one restored, jump to the occasion! Hanno

Ah yes, I see the early sign of CMPitis: you have discovered the beauty of these trucks, no return to sanity possible now ![]() Although they are not armoured, I am sure There's a Ford in your future! once I tell you they really do fly. . . Hanno

CMP's can certainly fly it just the landing that causes problems.

G'day Darryl,
That M3A1 White Scoutcar for sale in Australia is one of the more complete examples to come on the market for years. It is minus the engine and gearbox but to have the front roller, which is steel not concrete, is a bonus. I have driven my White for more than 100,000km. They are a great rally vehicle. I get around 15 mpg at 80km. Have you entered for Corowa? Only $10-00 entry and you'll get a Rally-pack with many interesting bits. Make sure we meet up at Corowa. Regards Rick

Afternoon chaps,
Thanks for the replies. Yes. This M3 does look very interesting. As you say, it all seems to be there. I'm presuming it is still easy to source a complete Hercules engine and gearbox from the US/Europe? Tony - are we going to see you down here next month? If not, hope to catch up with you either at Corowa or in Wanaka in April. Rick - am registered for Corowa and am looking forward to it. I saw your M3 on one of the previous year's DVD's. Would be very keen to get one of these. We don't see many over here. Will catch up with you at Corowa. Cheers Darryl |

More the Ebay White Scoutcar.
The Australian Army Registration Number was 123678 . The original engine number was 1308790. This scoutcar was disposed of on 07th March 1958. It was listed for disposal on disposal list M60/1BOD/GP/L20. I guess 1BOD is in Queensland, as 2BOD was NSW and 3BOD was at Seymour in Victoria. Regards Rick

I'd like to get to Dunners in Feb. I missed out on Labour Weekend due work commitments, I missed out on Edendale due to work commitments. I might feel sick late Feb. ![]() ![]() The Canty NZAAHA Pres we spoke of before has a White Scout Car which is also an ex-Aussie one. You might like to have a word to him about it or scoot up to Chch for a drive. |
