I thought some members might appreciate seeing some M-Types from Australia & New Zealand.
Here is 2M1468 currently under restoration.
More cars to follow, and maybe others can share too ?.

Nearest to camera is 2M2551, then M1524, M1523, 2M0872, 2M3328 & 2M2040.
M1523 & M1524 left the factory as "chassis only" exports to Australia and were bodied in Brisbane, Queensland in 1930/31.
The bodies are similar, but not identical.

Reviewing the Australian List last week reveals there are now 30 M-Types in Australia, not too shabby.
Here is another "Down Under M" - 2M2737

Another Down Under M-Type is 2M2123 - a much seen car in the 90's but not for some time now, it was rebuilt in the C-Type style, but now has a"factory body". This is a photo when it carried the "C-Type" body.

Ignore my last post - that image is a C-Type replica on a J chassis - NOT 2M2123. Same owner however.

It is always a lot of work to put together pictures and contributions.
Thanks for that.

So this is 2M2123 - sold at Shannon's Auctions in 2010 and has not been seen since, so wondering if it's still in Australia ?.
