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!

Some more pics. I presume this Grant is known about as it's visible from the road (just) and has been there for many years apparently.

Tony!
Good to see you've got into making some posts... how about starting a thread to properly introduce yourself and share some pics of your remarkable collection.

Hi Tony,
Welcome finally to the Forum. Thanks for those photos. I think you are right with that Grant. Passing a stationary semi at 100km doesn't give one much time to extract all the details but it certainly looks like the one. The pipe work for the canopy I thought was shorter length-wise along the hull but the actual cut off angle etc of the front armour is right. So I think you are on the button. Regards Rick.
