1942 M3A1 White Scout Car
It's been a tough MV season since selling the MK2/3 Ferret but have now acquired a 1942 M3A1 White Scout Car. Although still with the mechanic getting it certified, I expect/hope to have it out at OMVA Milton. A Big Thanks to Les Fisher who travelled with me to inspect the vehicle and also a Big Thanks to the folks at Fraser Direct in Milton who helped with bringing it home.
Cheers, Terry.

Well done, Terry!! I think you will find that the White Scout Car is a much easier vehicle to drive. I have owned both as well as a Saracen and a Ford Lynx and the WSC if my favourite drive. In fact we have had chassis no.266617 on the road since 1986 and driven all over eastern Australia to the extent of more than 100,00km. We have worn out one engine, a gearbox and rebuilt both front and rear diffs after failures.
Anzac Dayz 2017 143.JPG You might find that going back from 4th back to 3rd is a problem if you pull it through without a slight movement of about 1/4 inch to the left in neutral.(The opposite movement to the right from 3rd to 4th is also sometimes needed.) I have driven many and all need that slight left movement. Regards Rick

If all your driving is on the road you will find that they run much better if you remove the front prop shaft. As there is no disconect for 4WD the whole drive line is stressed all the time on the road which is not good for it or for drivability. Even in 2WD they are not bad off road but just don't get it stuck in goo.
