Very nice Wayne. It is a pretty rare U.C. Can you tell us a bit about it, and maybe show us some shots of the inside?
The LP2 looks very "nose down". Is it braking or caught in a gear change?

Thanks Des, it felt stale sitting in the shed for four years being restored but now its out. The postive comments make it feel worth while.

Hi Lyyn, thanks for the postive comments, i found the carrier in "09" on a sheep farm east of goulburn. It took 6 months to talk him into selling it, when i convinced him it was going to be restored and used in public events the old fella decided to let it go. Been in restoration progress ever sense, i will post some more photo for you soon. The LP2 is in need of some spring adjustments on the "soon to do list"
thanks again for your comments
