Might have some slight relevance re Aussie post war sales of 'complete' mil vehicles:

About 5 years ago, Colin ‘Bluey’ Myers told me this story of his late father N.McL.‘Mac’ Myers who was well known at Eildon in the 50s & 60s for his collection of Jeeps: “In ’45 or ’47 he bought the first army Jeep from the Army, from Melford Motors. You had to have the Jeep without a motor in it; and he went around the back and got the motor and he put it in – they wouldn’t sell you a complete Jeep.”
