This looks interesting. Item no 320332526739.

Melbourne assembled C60L, chassis 2844400508M. Still has the Holden badge. WO18 body (Keefy?), but body not present. I wonder what the reserve might be?

No connection to the seller.

8443 is the code for a C60L.

The data plate is from a C15A, and WO18 is Battery Staff Personnel Loading K2, presumably on an Australian No. 2A steel body, supplied to SM2196. I see that is on the main plate on the engine cover so the probability is engine covers have been swapped at some time.

Jeff Gordon of Queensland has WO18 2844400325M with sunshine roof cab.

Hey Guys, I don't know if it is my young eye's, but to me it looks like a WO16.
This is my WO18 plate,
Cheers

Yes, I thought it may have been a 6 rather than an 8.

Doesn't greatly affect the type though - that series of WO numbers were variations of C15A Battery Staff. WO16 was Battery Staff Wireless Load M1.

Sold for $5000 apparently.
