Default Apt

Hi folks , your Euro APT's can have a variety of parts on them , most of them have gone through many government rebuilds, CCKW's and jeeps are a perfect example of this as to many different parts on them ie. MB with GPW parts, check your frame numbers , engine numbers, tags on steering box and axles, the bolt on brace from the cowl to the floor will have a C broad arrow stamped on it , when I restored my APT that was the only location I found that marking, the waterproof ignition systems would have stayed or been removed as per the parts supply that the military of that country held, I still have one complete wadeproof system NOS less the the coil for sale , these are extremely rare,these were also used on test vehicles in Aberdeen on the WC-52, but judging by those photos I believe they were in fact APT's, so bottom line here is you will need to do your detective work , the parts book also shows serial number lots for 12,000 vehicles, when only 6,500 were completed due to the end of the war,
