Default Grant on the move

Rick, I have some pics of a Grant which may be the one you saw, but I'm unable to send them for the moment as this is my first post on MLU and I'm not yet familiar with the process. I shall keep trying and in the meantime some info:

The Grant I refer to is one I spotted a few years ago on the road north out of Trafalgar towards Noojee, about halfway between. I finally got around to dropping in a few weeks ago for a stickybeak, and was informed by the owner that it had just been sold to Rod Sayers (I think that's his name) who I believe is a long time collector. Apparently he has a previous association with this Grant, having bought the motor some years ago and arranged the diesel replacement currently fitted.

From your description Rick it seems likely this was the one - it has a pipe frame over the driver as you mention, and has been used in the bush as a dozer (perhaps the blade was left behind for scrap). Next time I go past I'll check to see if it's gone.

Pics to follow....hopefully!
