It Certainly was a Head turner.
In the state of Victoria one is required to have a roadworthy inspection on purchase only. By comparison in New South Wales one requires such an inspection each year. So this vehicle hasn’t had one since this current owner first purchased it.
I spotted this vehicle in Southern NSW heading home to Victoria and stopped it. I coxed the owner to coming to my home where I could photograph it. He explained it was composed of many trashed vehicles. I don’t recall much of the stats; it was more than 25 years ago. Do note the driver’s door. It is about 7 inches deep and he had to climb over the spare wheel to enter or exit.
It is stockmen who wear a 10 gallon hat. So was he a stockman or simply seeking image? Gary
