A most interesting "Beast." Curious WHY the radiators are shielded with such large panels ? It doesn't SNOW in Australia, does it ? Shields DO provide a nice large, flat, area to put a logo on, though.

I believe the guards or 'elephant ears' are for noise suppression which is a regulation in NSW Australia.
