This interesting pic is courtesy of our own MLUer Keith Webb.
This is a PU Morris in Syria 1942, undergoing maintenance . The mechanic looks satisfied with himself .... maybe all PU owners end up in overalls at some time . He hasn't been confused by the autovac yet . WHAT DOES THE 'X' ON THE DOOR INDICATE ? Mike

Hi Mike
As you are a Morris man thought you might like this shot of a PU taken in 1939, it belongs to a Royal signals unit and DRLS stands for despatch rider letter service cheers Les |

The DRLS pic posted by Les : It's a very rare Mk 1 PU . Less than 100 built I believe . It has the Royal corps of signals thingy on the front .
Hub caps civilian bumber bar . Rounded bonnet, flush with rad surround . None of these have survived , as far as we know . This captured PU has two menacing Germans , looking mean ! Are those trafficators ? On the sides of the windscreen . That's a old pic of R. Ballards PU . The poor thing must have strained itself towing cars around , the chassis is now where near strong enough on these, for that kind of work. Yes, Where are those pics of the elusive 11 set ( Aust.) in the PU . Cm'on Richard, About time ! Mike .

Morris PU and CS8 vehicles under new ownership in Hong Kong. The text of the PU description has been copied from my own research ... Hmm
https://digital.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/1941...tem&id=OJ00062 Re-spray job for a CS8...... incorrectly described as a PU. This CS8 has a metal panel GS body..... very strange. https://morrisregister.co.uk/wp-cont...ruary-2020.pdf
