Hey Guys, I received a call from a recent Wanted Ad this evening from a girl who has this Wilkins Servis automatic sitting in her parent's shed. Sorry that the pictures aren't the best quality but i really wanted to share. The machine is located in rural Victoria and I will be arranging for it to be shipped to me as soon as i can. Apparently, it was still working when it was put in the shed about 5 years ago. This machine would be a UK import. It's quite ironic that i actually drove through that town only 3 weeks ago when on my holiday and these are the first adverts i had placed for a Wilkins Servis automatic. Will obviously post more and better pictures when the machine eventually makes it way to Qld. Cheers Leon

If it is badged as a "Wilkins Servis" rather than a "Servis", doesn't that mean it is Australian made? My understanding was, all WS machines were Australian made to UK design, using a mix of imported and local parts, except for the Maytag clones and the little Toshiba-sourced machine, the last machine to be badged "Wilkins Servis."
