Yes, David, and that was what caught my attention, the dual rears.

I would also say this is an extremely tidy rebuild based on a lot of others I have seen over the years.

The fitting of the headlamps and fairing over the original locations, the tidying up of the bonnet, the new rear mudguards, the protection over the fuel tank etc. etc. Also the new body is very nicely done.

A question, though if I may. Such a vehicle, especially with the dual rears must have been a very thirsty beast and given the lack of petrol at the time did many find themselves being used in regular commercial service??

I would tend to think most of them must have ended up in Municipal Services such as Fire Brigades or National Service such as the Forestry Department or some such.

Any thoughts??
Bill
