What do you do with an army surplus Ford Staff Car?-    Project Digger Ford LTD of course.

Hi Mick,

Are you talking about the XY 4x4 utes ?

G'day Pete,

No just the CL vehicle , 2 x4 . I'm not sure if they had a white roof or not, they were a bit before my time.

What do you know ?

Cheers,

Mick

Not much I'm afraid. They come up on ebay from time to time.

There's an original XP ute for sale at the moment - roof appears to be same as body.

Hi Pete,

That one has been for sale sometime. I'm looking at one in original army livery. I was just interested in numbers known that still exist and if there were any photo's out there amongst the forum.

I'd aim to restore it to its soldering days.

Cheers ,

Bandiana has one of many of these types.  there is a lot in the ARN books, but i;ve not had the time to do them all yet.

[Mick]

No worries Phoenix,

I'll post some pic's when I can and see if I can sort a ARN. I don't think Bandiana have a XY ?

Cheers,

Mick

Actually I think you are right, I don't recall seeing an XY either on display or in storage. 

There are some xy's on the ARN lists already, but far from all of them. Have a look in the ford section http://remlr.com/ARN/ARN-ford.php

Unreal.

Don't know about what is in storage but, IIRC the only Ford ute on display is an XP

Do we have the necessary BBB images for finding the ARN or will I have to visit the AWM?

[Mick]

Hi Ross,

If you could check out AWM for me it would be terrific, ARN, any in service pic's , unit ID , etc .

I was thinking of setting her up a a MP car with a cage on the back so any photo's of those would be fabulous.

Keep up your good work :-)

Cheers,

Mick
