If we are talking CDSW and not CDFW as mentioned in the first post? Rory Ballard ( noted Morris expert) is doing a ground up restoration on one. Like in the previous picture. He's situated near Southampton. Email me for his contact details. ronpier@talk21.com

These CDSWs really are superb looking vehicles. I really enjoyed seeing yours, Tobin, at Beltring. Sadly you weren't around at the time.

The one pictured above appeared, albeit very briefly, in the film Atonement. Here are some are some more pictures of it:

No Alan. Rory's is still only a rolling chassis. I'll take a picture next time I visit.

See young Ballard's Morrises for some pictures of his CDSW chassis.

Thanks for the update - with the picture coming via Richard Notton I had assumed it was Rory's. Looking again, I see it's the same one I posted links about earlier.

Changing tack slightly, another of the CDSWs appearing in Atonement was a Bofors LAAT version. It appears to have emigrated:

You gotta love those fried eggs!

A Czech company has recently released a model of the CDSW LAAT, which is undoubtedly based on this example - I've seen the model being criticised for having lockers that are too tall, and I suspect this survivor has replica bodywork.

Another seen regularly on the British circuit also has replica bodywork. Pity we can't get to see an original example.

Yes Hanno, that's the progress I've been watching! It's much further on now of course, and all done in a 8'x4' shed Ron
