![]() ![]() Unfortunately it was in a sad internal state when purchase with the fabrikoid trim tattered and torn and the front hide seat back having a large tear due to drying out completely. Interior has now faithfully been replaced as per the original with only the original rear seat back and swab surviving. Chassis and body work were in excellent condition as was the prime mechanics although all ignition electrics and a total rewire was undertaken. The gem, found tucked up between the leather covering of the front seat base and the hessian spring protection, was an original Ford Windsor 1940 Drivers Handbook for the vehicle with the following information written in pencil on the inside page: W.D.VEHICLE C.M. 195242 PTE DICKSON J. B84077 E SECTION Ed Storey has done a quick search and 'J. Dickson' served with the 1st. MTVRD (Motor Transport Vehicle Reception Depot) RCASC, which I assume was here in the UK, anyone got any info on this unit and where it was located? ![]() I will post some more photos but attach one on its first outing yesterday in its nearly complete guise in the markings of the Calgary Highlanders/2nd Canadian Division of late 40/41 in the UK. If I can get more info on the 1st. MTVRD I already sense a unit change coming up! Ian IMG_3077 - Copy.JPG |
