Default Scottish ones

There was another water tanker chassis in Scotland, that was sold down to the north east of England, as was another D15 that got a cargo body - dont know what type it was originally. Also, there was a T110L D60 cargo in Aberdeen about 15 years back.

I think they have all been sold or moved, with only my stuff and the D8A 4 x 4 in Aberdeen left of the stuff that was rare or unusual.

The 'unfortunate' fact about the D15 and the D60s is that being 4 x 2 they were always worked to death by civilian owners post-war. They had lighter drivetrains than the 4 x 4 trucks so they had a better power to weight ratio, and the final drive ratio was lower too so they would drive faster. The only details I noticed on your was the cheapo blackout trim - half door panels, no headliner, real cost-reduction stuff.
