Af first I think this truck was advertised as a C60, but we have since found out it is in fact a C30 with 20inch wheels fitted. However, this might be the right place to discuss the following....
I question if there ever were any C60S LAATs produced; I think Bill Gregg does mention them in his publications, but I haven't seen any in period pictures so far. So my theory is that LAATs were only built as F30, C30 and F60S....and the latter might not have seen active service in NWE before the end of the war (also based on the lack of period pictures, the fact that several were sold post-war with very low mileage and original paint.... and a comment made earlier by Richard Farrant.) Any ideas on this?

It does look like a nice project....but if one was to rebuilld it as a C30 LAAT, it would require some somewhat hard to find bits like 16inch wheels and matching 10.50-16 tyres, a winch, fairleads for front and rear. Apart from the missing sheet metal pieces in the back of course.
Finding an ambulance body however, might even be harder!
