dsl ◊ 2023-03-15 19:47	Is Taunus Transit a possibility?? That link is our sole recognised Aus example, but we have a couple more RHDs in ZA, so there could be an undiscovered story lurking below the radar. Where built is an obvious question - somehere Southern hemisphere, possibly even adding Rhodesia into the mix?? Or Europe, with RHD Taunus cars known to be Amsterdam builds??
