Yeah thats them ted, the 950 is an ex malleys truck,the shiny one with the container was restored ,pretty sure, there is a rigid tipper is powered by the legendary silver 92, the other one from the carsales site is powered by a cripple 4. There was also 1 aerodyne, and almost certain there was a t 650. All painted this scheme and were all cover trucks for kw literature at the time.

The nation was preparing to celebrate its 1988 Bicentennial year and optimism for the future was running high. Kenworth com­memorated the upcoming event by touring its new model range around the country.
These trucks were all painted in the national colours; metal flake gold, with green and yellow striping. Only seven Cavalcade launch trucks were made – a C500, the T600A, a T650, the L700 and three K100Es. While Kenworth included three versions of its new cabover in the convoy, most of the initial interest was around the two new bon­neted trucks, in particular, the T600A.
However, this is a sentiment best indulged with hindsight and, when Kenworth’s Bicentennial trucks finished their nation­wide tour, they were sold off and put to work. Their too brief appearance as the manufacturer’s headlining act mostly for­gotten in the day-to-day drama of earning a living.
Twenty-eight years later, those seven Bicentennial Kenworths have become the rarest of the rare Aussie Kenworths.
