Pictured here is Alan Tooes' T212, which he sold to a collector in The Netherlands in 2003. Besides this example, only two other survivors of this type are known, so it is an extremely rare vehicle:

one resides in Aberdeen, Scotland;
and another in Austria (see below).

Mike Kelly wrote: "The T212 replica was built by Warren Kerle in Brisbane, he began with a chassis which he thinks is from a T212 . He then found a cab from a T110 Canadian 3 tonner and axles from the U.S. 1/2 ton WC series. He made up the 6 stud hubs, and used wheels from a C8AX CMP. The result is great I think."
Mike supplied Warren with drawings to replicate the cargo body.
