Hanno, this photo and similar ones will appear in a forthcoming book! It is in fact of course a 8-cwt 4 x 2 Chevrolet C8 with Number 12 Cab, rebuilt with new bumper and completely new wooden frame Station Wagon style body with new doors by Pearsons of Liverpool. Note the gloss black painted road tyres replacing the military style, and the lack of a radiator guard. This was sold to the Earl of Strathmore as an ‘estate car’. Lord Strathmore, Scottish peer, was the father of HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
