It's Oka 218, not a member, and belongs to Sacred Earth Safaris, but no one was around. Despite the signs on the side, it obviously hadn't been down the Gibb River Road, much too clean and undamaged.
(Sloping car park, not sagging springs!)

Spotted in Germany today, stripped of the camper body in readiness for a new, lighter one.
That red thing behind with the window is actually a building
Cheers, Peter.

Extension on the bottom of the door is to cover over bull bar step.
This stops people climbing onto the OKA when travelling badlands.......

Apparently you can't simply cut a new one like you can with a windscreen and the wrong type of glass was used.
As well as for security, the door is rusted.
Notice also the padlock provision at the bottom rear corner of the door.
The door locks can be breached with a screwdriver in a couple of seconds.
Cheers, Peter.

Bull bar, air steps, hydraulic winch, cab roof rack, ......... etc.
Old camper box will be fitted to new old truck and sold as a going concern.
Cheers, Peter.

Good spotting.TH wrote: The locking hubs appear to be on the wrong end
That because they brought it from South America with a broken rear axle and drove in front wheel drive.
The rear tail shaft is missing too.
Cheers, Peter.

Might jog some memories about the owners? Oka 155 is not on our database.
