Numbers
Hi welcome to the CS8 fraternity ��
Is that the numeral 1 before the 2 ? Rory B in the UK went through the contract cards and added up the total which was just over 21000 from memory. 12000 range would make it 1940 at a guess. The CS8's I know of in Australia , many of them seem to have had the later closed in cabin retro fitted . Apparently the ship with the CS8's on board unloaded in Darwin but that needs to ne researched. I was told by an old chap that Lanes Motors in Melbourne sold around 200 CS8"s from mid 1945. Colin Anderson told me the Nuffield agents in Shepparton were selling CS8's just after the war. 1760 is the sanction nr. these are listed in the 1940 combined manual.
Rory said the engine Nr prefix OHS is unusual . The prefix should be OH only . Your trucks had a engine swap. Apparently OHS engines WERE originally fitted in Morris ambulances. BTW new set of pistons on ebay now. They are becoming very scarce
