OilyThat’s one impressive crane there.
Nicely spotted there Anorak! They maybe should rename the brand for english spoken countries…
Autocar, bit of the “great unknown” up here, but they seem to be tough little buggers… Maybe DIG knows a bit more about them?

I will do my best to to satisfy your thirst for Auto Car knowledge Patrick. I drove an Autocar pulling 3 single deck trailers on cattle for a short period one season in the late 70s,it was a similar model to the yellow with red stripes model 350 ■■■■■■■ 15speed R/R bogie drive 6 rod spring suspension Rockwell diffs butterfly bonnet chequer plate mud guards all round.
A quite rugged truck heavily built with little comfort but pretty unbreakable it used the same cab as the Diamond Reo of the day and like them the wiring was a bit flimsy prone to failure which I think was due to the load generated by multiple trailers.I hot wired the spot lights through a seperate switch after I had a total shut down of lights one night, apart from that it did the job.
This one must be 30plus years old and used to run into Darwin may still be doing it its a credit to the owner and has been upgraded quite a bit and has an Ice Pack remote A/c unit and a Ad Blue tank so may have entered the electronic age of Engines.
Double click for closer look.
Cheers Dig

That is a real beauty, Dig, but, knowing my love affair with frigos (not! 
), I think I would have put that dog 3rd.
