RSFU Toyota. Looks to be in excellent shape but the price reflects the condition.

Isn't that a great looking vehicle.  8)

the description is interesting, as the vendor is mistaken and there are be a lot more Oz Army HJ47 than just that one. I wonder if its a bit like "there's only one Jeep",

We should capture the images for reference.  :)

I think he means that it's the ONLY 4wd in Mosman that has seen off road use?

Looking at how spotless it is, maybe its a certified Mossman 4WD that has never been off road. 

Perhaps it was only used for the mail run from Small Ships at Chowder Bay up to HMAS Penguin!  ::)

Only ever driven by a little old lady in a private war.
