Here's a pic Rick took some time ago, as far as I know it and several others are still there on the Princes Highway, in the front of an old motel. What is not known however is whether it or any of the others are available for sale.

Thanks for that Keith, Sorry Ray, I have been away for most of the past 10 days and never got back to you. These Blitz's are still there outside of Murphy's Motel at Traralgon, the place is now closed and looking a real mess.

Don't know what is going on there at all.

Regards Rick.

Now there's a concept...

A motel with blitzes would be a dream holiday location for any enthusiast.

I love the colour scheme on that Blitz! Makes me want to fill the back of it with dry ice and flog ice lollies out of it at the next MV rally!
