The Other Stuff

It is a five speed manual, 4 wheel Drive with Auto locking Front Hubs.

It was registered in Queensland but is currently unregistered.
It passed a RWC about 12months ago and has traveled only 500kms since, so it should pass one easily. It is not being sold with one.

Very cool. There was a post with many great pictures about 2 FirePatrols still in service. Here's the link: http://www.60patrol.com/forum/viewtopic ... ire#p28872 In fact I made the post a sticky, because it belongs at the top.
