 It's not real hard to find a running Lanz in Victoria, below from wikipedia

The KL Bulldog was produced by Kelly & Lewis of Springvale, Victoria, Australia from 1948 to December 1952. Just over 860 were
built, based on the 35 HP Model N Bulldog.

They are as they say in that video very robust, I wouldn't be surprised if 75% were still in a running condition. They were very soon superseded, farmers kept them because they were so different!
