Back in the mid 70's there were 8 SAR's come down the line in Bayswater, one behind the other so I guess they all had consecutive chassis numbers. The trucks were all for Selwoods (maybe Seltino .... alziemhers kicking in). They were either 8V71T or 8V92T coupled to a 6 speed Allison. They were about the only autos that were built around that time. I know Mick Travlos bought one and replaced the auto with a 12515 roadranger.

JIMBO
The SAR photo you sent me of MT#15 with "GRUMPY" on the bullbar is the one I refer to. Were you still at KW Bayswater around the time of the Selwood (Seltino) SAR's ?
COULD 401802 BE ONE OF THEM ????

should have said it was 350 cummins dual range eaton diffs and i think one of its colours was blue.....all black now .....looks exactly like the black tipper noel posted.

Thanx Werk

Note colours..... black.....Satin Mist......and white


Built November 1975............almost 10 years before my (ex) bosses one

couldn't resist getting a few shots of them together

Noel, re 402172, don't have exact build/sold date but reckon it's 76/77.

Grumpy, the following is what I can find so far w.r.t SAR's with autos or for Selwood/Seltino. It might reflect who they ended up being sold to or the final delivered configuration rather than who for and how they were originally built. So take it with a grain of salt!

Info gets a bit patchy after about 77/78.
