8 cwt's galore
The lineage is there for all to see . The 1936 PU MCC eventually morphing into the Canadian C8 and F8 mishaps !
It would be interesting , which car of the three variants would win a race . The MCC PU had a good turn of speed . The F8 would be in it with a chance too. But the C8 would be plodding along, way behind the others . Cast iron just doesn't want to go up and down as fast as aluminium does .
The tilt on the ground , in the tent mode, had a clip on canvas apron . The tilt alone on its sticks would not afford any protection from a side wind or rain . The apron is rarely seen in use and would have been a pain to clip on . It's a clever concept though , and I have never seen it on any other car.
So who is driving their 8 cwt to Corowa this year ? Not me .
