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.
