Here are five more. I have about 10 more such but they are sort of different views of the same type vehicles.

This one is fun I think as it represents the difference between what the Flag Rank Officers got to ride around in (and not a few Government Types) and what the typical transport was for Subaltern lower ranking Officers. Can you imagine riding around on rough terrain with those cramped quarters and tiny wheels/tyres. As someone mentioned on the It's a Guy thing thread, the Brits seemed determined to produce vehicles that must have been extremely uncomfortable to drive or sit in.

As near as I can tell, the larger cars are Hillmans, all photos recieved from Bart Vanderveen. The Austin 7 pictured here is courtesy of Mike Conniford.

Readmy next post for the history of some of these photos.
