This also happened with those issued and sold to the NZEF and Indian Army though did the IA ship their vehicles back or were they used in Europe?
David that is the one I owned 22 years ago in New Zealand. The remains of it and another the same now lie in a quarry in Northland NZ. It would now be a labour of love to restore them as both have deteriorated badly due to limestone dust.

PS> I sold this one at the time so I could keep a WC51 Dodge weapons carrier I had not knowing just what it was I had.
