I'm fairly sure some early Crown utilities were sold (infact assembled) new in Australia. I'm not sure on that exact year model but I have seen examples of the S50 shape in the flesh and for sale before.

I knew a bloke at Goulburn who had one rust out in his paddock and was only recently taken for scape (what was left that is).
Reconned it was the best ute he'd owned.

Merv from AllMaz was very helpful in tracking down a car for me. Him and his contact in Japan are always watching the auctions and other car sales sites, maybe give him a call and ask if he's interested in helping you out?
