I think Oz had about 8 of them all up during WW2.

Up to $1350 already..:oo: Usually the serious money comes in the last few hours of the auction and this ones got a couple of days to run. Two QLD’ers in the run up against one of them Vic’s..:U

Apparently during WW2 Rommel captured one of them Dorchesters (off the Poms:cool:) and used it as his command vehicle in preference to the merc.

The rest of it appears to be the red oxide painted box, going by the pics.
