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.

Cheers

Darryl, the Hercules JXD engine is the same as used in the Studebaker 6x6, of which there are a few around in Aus. I'm not sure about the gearbox used in the White. Rick, any suggestions?

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. Wanaka is locked in.

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.

I have been led to believe the the JXD that is in the M3A1 White Scout car in infact a high compression model that produces more HP and was the same as used in the M8 and M20 Greyhound armoured cars. That the one used in the US6x6 Stud in a low compression model.

Phil, you may be right. I haven't heard that the Studebaker JXD is of a lower compression. I thought it was the same as all the internal parts and the head are interchangeable between the White Scoutcar and the Studebaker. The only differences are the Exhaust/inlet manifold and the fuel pump. The fuel pump is on the opposite side to the one on the White and is driven by a pushrod from the camshaft. On the White it drives straight off the camshaft.

Tony, The gear box is a White 4 speed box and is therefore different to the Studebaker 5 speed. Peter Frazer in QLD fitted a Studebaker gearbox to his White with much success. He also fitted a different transfercase to give front axle declutch.
Regards Rick

The White Scoutcar on Ebay Australia sold for AU$5,850. A good price, especially when there was another much sought after set of original rear armour and at least 2 bonnets. Many other axle and brake parts and fittings as well.

If the purchaser is a MLU watcher, will you please contact me so I can list this one on the White Scoutcar Register.

Thanks
Rick.

Default Wanted - WW2 wheeled armour

I see there was another one here from South Australia where the auction closed early:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290393248467

Does anyone know about that one? Did it sell?

Cheers

Darryl

I was watching that auction too. It did recieve a bid of $10,000 and then the advert was ended within the day. Maybe the seller was satisfied with the result?

If the auction closed early it either sold outside of ebay or ebay stopped the auction.
