Ex Army S2A Ambo on Street Verge
« on: October 07, 2012, 08:24:08 PM »
Found these photos on Flickr.

Does anyone recognise this vehicle? It appears to be for sale as there is very faint handwriting on white sign. Photos taken on August 4th, 2012 so this Landy may still be sitting on the verge.

Tag says - Wyoming, NSW. 2012

It might be worth PMing DennisM about it as it's in his general area

Yes I do know about it, I've been told by numerous people about it, located approx 80-90k's from where I live, it has been in a prang (which is obvious by the pix) I have not seen it myself, but from the pix it has numerous panel problems let alone anything else, anyway cheers Dennis

G'day DennisM  :)

I thought that you would have been aware of it,and yes, there is an art to driving a heavy bodied 2a with unboosted drums in today's traffic,bad enough with a 2a GS with light load.much more so with a WW11 era military vehicle of any size.  ::)

cheers
