    Lightburn washing machines were standard issue in Australian military barracks after WW2. Their cement mixers of similar design to the washing machine also was very popular. They were both solidly built and very reliable.

    I had a 1964 Zeta runabout that I bought in 1966. It couldn't possibly reach 95 km/h but it was fine in traffic with the quick, positive gearshift. Reversing was also easy because when you turn the key on a Zeta the engine starts instantly. So switching between 1st and reverse was quick, you didn't have to touch the gear lever. Just clutch, switch off, switch on and go.

    As a Nasho (1969 - 70) I remember Lightburn washing machines in recruit and corps training. They didn't follow us to Vietnam, however. Outside the wire, we didn't wash our gear, but tore it up and buried it when we were resupplied. Behind the wire, our greens went to the Baria laundry.

    Lightburn also made trailers too. Though they're quite rare these days, I'm planning on restoring one and uniting it with the Zeta Ute!

      There was an electric "Gopher"-like thing. Not a road vehicle.

      Petrol economy with the light body and 324cc engine was pretty good.
