OK
I think we have got this one nailed down then .
What I find rather confusing is , if that pic is circa 1941 , what is a 1935 prototype or pre production car doing on active service in 1941 . You would think it would have been scrapped or driven into the ground by then.
Richard . I also have a copy of Mike Connifords profile , I see the pic you mentioned and the winch mounted amidships , that's a odd place to mount a winch I must say .
I have a very good article on CS8's ( appeared in Classic and Vintage Commercials June 1996 part 1 ) written by the tank man David Fletcher . He states the very first CS8 concept car was delivered to MEE Farnborough for trials during 1934 .
If anyone wants a copy of the article , I can email it .
Mike
