Thanks Richard, more likely it was converted in civvy street after demob. Of course having worked for many years with REME, you do claim any non-authentic restorations and repairs are "REME conversions", don't you?

The C15 has been re-advertised on MilWeb, this time complete with picture:

1943 Chevrolet CMP C15 4x2 Truck
Vehicle is 90% complete and running. All mechanical parts and body restored from a ground up rebuild. New 900/16 directional bar treads. fitted with REME conversion 28hp Bedford engine. reluctant sale due to imminent emigration . needs slight work to cab roof and electric's finishing, rest is cosmetic work. Price £2495.00 will haggle with genuine buyers! Buyer collects will need transporter to remove.
