Was it off ebay?

That's the guy.. but I don't think it's the ex-Kingaroy one ... it looks rather different in many respects .

Does anyone have pics of the KINGAROY one ? .. I did but lost them .

So thats two borders to cross? That would be double points for a Border Raid. Side trip through the ACT would be a Hat Trick.
Sounds like quite a road trip coming up.

Mike,

Well done! By now you must be the guy taking top place in Australia's listing of Military Morris Owners.

See the ad below, it seems at least the sellers of these vehicles realise how much they must be worth

I wish I had a fellow Morris enthusiast over here .... to share tips and swap parts with etc....

I spotted a nice C4 on MILWEB ... the longer wheelbase version Mk 2 ..... looked nice , don't think its your advert though.

same truck ....??? Why don't you buy this one Hanno ..looks ideal for you

From the MCC Adderley park figures ..... the C4 was in production right up til 1944-45 ..but only in very small numbers: Less than 200 for that year. The C8 GS in production at same time .... was the main contract.
