Default Updated (7/31/09) List of Operational C8/F8s

Here's yet another cut at the list. BTW, the reason I started the list was the result of finding only one F8 on the Registry. Felt there must be more. In any case here it is:

C8’s – 14 (6 running)
(Under restoration) Unknown, New South Wales, Australia
(Under restoration) Unknown, New South Wales, Australia
(Under restoration) Unknown, Queensland, Australia
(Under restoration) RoB Mcbride, Queensland, Australia
(Running) Unknown, Queensland, Australia
(Almost running) Mike Kelly, Victoria, Australia
(Under restoration) Unknown, Western Australia, Australia
(Running?) Unknown, Western Australia, Australia
(Running) Mike Calnan, Ontario, Canada
(Running?) War Museum (C8 or F8?), Ontario, Canada
(Running) Unknown, Eston, Saskatchewan, Canada
(Running) Unknown, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
(Running) Nick Bullock, United Kingdom
(Running) Chuck Anderson, Oregon, USA

F8’s – 11 (11 Running)
(Running) Reg Hodgson, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
(Running) Jason Ginn, Ontario, Canada
(Running) David Moore, Ontario, Canada
(Running) Jim Price, Arizona, USA
(Running) Unknown, England, United Kingdom
(Running) Witten Family, Netherlands
(Running) Unknown, Netherlands
(Running) Unknown, Netherlands
(Running) Unknown, England, United Kingdom
(Running) Ashby Bros., United Kingdom
(Running) Clifton Lang, United Kingdom

It's interesting to note that there are almost twice as many Fords running as there Chevrolets!

Regards,
Jim

PS Have a look at the list to make sure I haven't duplicated any of those shown or if there's any corrections. I'm more interested in listing those that are road-worthy. Thanks!

Default c8

My Morris C8 is certainly going and would be happy to take anyone for a spin around Hervey Bay QLD Australia, not to sure about the Toowoomba C8 as that is where mine used to live along with the other used to build mine.

Default I have one.

I have one it can drive under it's own power to shows. Sits in the barn most of the year but runs without much coaxing. Will post a pic once I have a computer.
