An interesting one from the Bombay Truck Show.

Although the star of the show was arguably the Diamond T 614D, there was considerable interest levelled at the Mercer Transport Museum's Diamond T 921 6x4.

New to ??? in 195x, it was purchased by Tranz Carr Heavy Haulage from the estate of Neil Otway (of Otway's fame) and given a minor refurb.

Its history is entirely unknown, but given the rarity of Diamond T and Diamond REO products here*, it is possible that this is an Australian import. Unfortunately its history may never be revealed but it is super cool to have two later Diamond Ts in preservation. With a possible third, assuming that it was sold to a preservationist, 634 also surviving.

*Other than a few smaller 4x2 flatdecks, few Diamond T products operated here. Furthermore only(?) the Union Steam Ship Company (P&O) operated Diamond REO products, having a sole 6x6(?) artic.

With thanks to @shortfineel for joining me.
