The owner bought it from a car dealer, Olly Strang in Victoria Park, for 200 quid (no idea) in 1963. The car yard bought it from an army auction around 1960 and used it to ferry customers around.

Farmer took the back off and used it to string wire fencing.

The vehicle top coat of paint is deep bronze green (Post war) and the hand painted camo is clear under this layer.
The paint is the standard green but the other colour is not the usual yellow. It is a muddy light brown with a pink tinge.

Pulled the vehicle out of the shed and then changed a couple of tyres.
Found all of the rear body panels and crew doors, chucked them in the trailer and went home. Only part not found was the roof sheet metal.
