The International No.1, Mk.1 and Mk.2

Built as a small batch of only roughly 100 vehicles, very few images of the Mk.1 and 2 Exist, and even fewer vehicles are still known to exist. The Army museum has two Mk.1 Internationals, and another has been spotted, but was in need of a lot of work.

This vehicle which was called a P2 or P3 by those that used it is a Mk.1 Inter. One of the 100 that were trialed by units to evaluate their suitability. The uniform of the soldier infront of the truck dates this as pre 1965. This photo is taken from the 1 Coy RAASC page.
