Bukit Timah Road, Bukit Timah, Singapore must have received CMPs..1941-2 delivery SM 2104 3-TON 4 X 4 158” W.B. Ford C018QF. However some of these may have been diverted as my friend says in the next section! Did any of these end up in Japanese hands? The Singapore factory would have supplied the Malay States and was a Ford of Canada subsidiary.

S/M 2104 included deliveries for SINGAPORE but may have been diverted to Australia, and EGYPT
E.G. CHASSIS F-60448-M CAB 13

In Australian Army service, this truck wore the ARN (Army Registered Number) of 53050. So this one was indeed diverted to Ford Australia.

Still no word on any Ford plant in the Netherlands East Indies. It would have been a Ford of Canada subsidiary if it was. I found that there were several hundred Ford Jeeps delivered in summer 1941 and assume that there must have been a Ford presence but where was it? Batavia? Nuyt can you track down please as this is annoying me that I am not getting an answer!
