Dorchester up for auction

[Mike Cecil]

Phillip,

Bob sent me this image after he arrived back in WA and unloaded his Matador chassis. You may wish to pass it on to the current owner. I think I have a few other images from Bob as well, including a close-up of the remains of the British divisional marking, just visible on the lower left front mudguard.

It is indeed the vehicle from the Armour Museum at Puckapunyal.
Aust had 7 of these, I think there are 2 left, this and a restored vehicle in Newcastle NSW.
The storage yard has been tidied up in preparation for the rationalising of some items and the move to the future/new facility located by the front gate to the camp.
They are also spending time and money on getting current exhibits running and tidied up for the move.
So some very exciting times ahead.
There will be more items being moved through Pickles Auctions.
There have been a number of surplus Land Rovers Ser 3, M3 White scout car, Fordson WOT2 and International Mk3 & 4, 4x4 trucks disposed of in the last 10 months, plus numerous pallets of items that are no longer required.
The intent is to concentrate on more recent conflict items and the Museums to be Corps specific.
This is just my observations and in no way an official statement by AHU.
