What remarkable vehicles.

Roger O'Regan we bought one in the 80’s, drove her home from Gillies yard in Oamaru. Had her for years, sold to Harwoods in Takaka and ended her days pulling a boat out of the water. Was Army green.

I used to go to the Govt auctions way back. Old G T was good to watch as he cornered all the GMC and Quad trucks at pretty much every auction. A small squint, a flick with a finger, and nobody knew who was bidding.
