A drawbar from a truckshow 2011 :smiley:

Proper job Dan, thanks for posting that!

I know its not a 141, but still a nice example, think it is still in existence. He used to do Italy I believe. My first ever engine rebuild as an apprentice mechanic was on a 111 of Joda Freight, just down the road from Arthur Green`s.

Now wouldn’t this be nice ownership. It has been advertised for months - I’ve been watching it all along and keeps being refreshed every now and then.

Here is the site: countryshed.com.au/showAd.ph … location=Z

Some beautiful details… Aussie-spec snorkel, old-style ignition key (very much looks like the one on my 1973 IH-Mc Cormick tractor), chrome dials, Aussie-spec 20sp Spicer gearbox, and of course massive kangaroo bar. I only imagine the symphony from that straight exhaust.

And most importantly it looks in very decent condition.
Frankly if it wasn’t half an earth away and likely un-importable due to spec incompatibilities, I might have given it a serious look, next to my 142 :smiley:

some of Antwerp’s finest (not only the trucks!)

Vilar Formoso in the mid 80s.

+1…but those back wheels look OK?

I hadn’t noticed them Harry, until you mentioned it, they look like ordinary wheels - strange!

Strange indeed. It would look better if it had Trilex all round. Oh, hello Bill! :smiley:
