Looks to have the Mobiloil gargoyle logo on the side. I can’t read Russian. Maybe someone here can help us out?

2nd pic made me look twice. Thought that was one weird, tall top! The roof in background blends in quite a bit. I feel bad for the poor fella looking under the hood at the engine while all his people "patiently wait"!

Yep, thanks again for these!

I love the design of the TT with the string of fish. Check out the tray design and the way the top is fitted. Someone took a lot of pride in making that body and decorating it with pinstriping.

The very next photo shows a Duncan and Fraser built station utility, designed specifically for outback station work.

Unfortunately the Tin Roof on the House made the vehicle’s top look disjointed on photo 2 😂
Otherwise it would be a wonderful photo of a 09/10 Tourer

And here is more or less the location of Photo 11 in Opotiki, New Zealand. The building on the left is a match with its distinctive pelmet, but there is no clear evidence as to which building used to be the Ford dealer a couple of doors back.

I wonder, Slim Dusty's song, Having a beer with Duncan.
Anyway can put this photo into the 30's, Smith Crisps, was founded in 1931.

My how language has changed. My Grandmother felt faint and queer for a time after lightening demolished a tree next to her house.
Queer meant ill, unwell, out of sorts.
