Interesting ute on Aussie ebay at the moment. Apparently Australian built.

So we have Patrols, and then we have special Patrols that have some sort of story behind them like the G60 the Sprigg family had to cross the Simpson desert, or the Patrols the famous TV cowboy Roy Rodgers had, or the little gem River just acquirred that was featured in the Dream Team poster.
Do you all see this as a special Patrol? I think it could be. Not like finding the original Simpson crosser but still very special. We should find someone who knows about these Australian made Patrols, where the factory was, how many made and in what configuration.
Man, I like this truck!
