Fiat Spa 4X4
Wandering around the local old machinery expo yesterday, I spotted a WW2 era ex Italian army Fiat 4X4 .. and it goes . Two of them were brought home after capture in the Middle East.. It sat in the Narre Warren museum for years. The present owner/restorer had photos on hand taken during its post war life on A Gippsland farm .. He claims that both of them were shipped to New Guinea during WW2 for use there.. then shipped back here.. sounds unlikely to me .. Does anyone know more ? He also tracked down the histroy of the second one... he had a large board there with pics of them.
Its presently in chassis /cab form .. what a mechanical oddity it is .Very large wheels. Mike
